Windows Service Pack 2 Error

[Tom B.]

No, sir. No luck there.
Still missing.
I have the desktop IE icon. Just the URL IE icon is that weird piece of
paper with the corner folded down thing.
Thanks.

Hmmm.

Sometimes rebooting (even twice) can fix such a problem.

If not, did you try the two Kelly's Korner tweaks from nass's post?

Incidentally, I received these tips from Don Varnau (MS-MVP), and neither of
these worked either.
Here's a copy and paste:

Hi,
First try the procedure in this article to reset the icon cache:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=926715

Then see this article:

Hope this helps,

Daave,
I tried all of nass's suggestions, and the one that sort of worked was this
FavOrg tool.
FavOrg - Restore and Save Favorite Icons
http://www.gratilog.net/anglais/internet/favorg.zip

It seemed to restore about half of the bookmark icons in my Favorites back
to the IE icon, but only about half of them. Now when I'm on a website, the
icon on the URL is the IE icon. so yeah it worked. As far as the other half
of the Bookmark icons, if I actually physically replace the bookmark with a
new one from the same website, it will show IE icon. I have over 300
bookmarks, so I won't be doing that. I'll have to live with the unrepaired
ones, until I slowly but surely replace them.
Thank you again for all your help.
Tom

nass,
Of all your suggestions, the FavOrg tool was the one that fixed it. Thanks!!
You're a genius. The icon on the actual URL in the address bar now has the IE
icon. About half of the bookmark icons in my Favorites are back to the IE
icon. The other half are still that weird "unsupported file" icon. I found
that if I physically replace the Bookmark with a new one from the same
website, it will show the IE icon. Since I have over 300 bookmarks, I won't
be doing that. I'll have to live with them until slowly but surely they get
replaced.
Thank you again for all your help!

Here's one last problem. After I downloaded SP3 and upgraded to IE7, the IE
icon that's to the far left of the URL, and is next to every IE Bookmark on
your Favorites, is not the IE icon anymore. It's that weird icon you get when
you have a file, but no program to support it? Know what I mean? It's white
colored and it looks like a corner of a piece of paper is folded over? Get
me? How do I get the IE icon back on the address bar next to the URL, and in
my Bookmarks?
Thanks.
Tom

- Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.

Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.

Click [Apply] then [OK] to close the IE properties.

I think you installed SP3 first then IE7 which will make it difficult to
uninstall IE7. Why? Because I'm guessing your IE installation not complete or
damaged by interferring from the Anti-virus or the download interrrupted
somehow/somewhere along the line!!!

Last thing to try is to reinstall IE7 by downloading the installer from here
and run it. Please disconnect from the internet and Disable your
Firewall/Antivirus program then double click the installer to execute. Reboot
your machine and the first thing to do is to RENABLE the Firewall/Antivirus
program then reconnect to the Internet.

Internet Explorer 7 downloads

If the above didn't work try to Run the Disk Check up on Reboot and see if
that will solve the issue. Other than that leave it it my need another
security updates to sort out this mess.

You can download this tool to run clean up (run both the Application and the
Registry Options):
http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim

Run this command:
sfc /scannow

Any luck?

why don't you download from another computer?

 

[Tom B.]

nass,
Yes, I did download SP3 first before I downloaded IE7. Reason being that I
had SP1 before and couldn't download IE7 until I upgraded my Service Pack.
I'll go to the website and re-download IE7 and let you know what happens.

nass,
So I went ahead and installed IE8 for SP3 and it resolved the icon/favicon
problem. Simple enough.
Thanks for all your invaluable help along the way.

Resolved the missing icon/favicon problem by upgrading browser to IE8 for SP3.
Thanks for all your help!
It was appreciated.
