Icons not displaying correctly

[Wimpie van Lingen]

All my files with a .ico or .cur extention displays wrong. Some program has
associated itself with those two file types, and now that program's icon
display instead of the icon self.
I removed the association, but now Windows just displays the default icon
used for unknown file types.

Any ideas how I can get icons to display as icons again?

You could try doing an Icon Repair with TweakUI.

You can get the website at www.vanusa.org Software Page near the bottom of
the list.

With respect....
TweakUI does not repair .ico and .cur associations.
It deletes ShellIconCache which is not relevant here.
