    SparticusX on SOLVED: blank/white paper icons Win7, after IconPackager uninstallation » Forum Post by SparticusX posted a registry "fix" for this (bottom of 1st post)

    It appears that you have to apply the fix every time you install / update iconpackager

    Export the key before deleting it, just in case.

    While uninstalling iconpackager, you need to apply the default icons at first and then uninstall. Otherwise there is always a chance that the imageres.dll will be wiped out.

    If imageres.dll is wiped out, then nothing other than putting the icons individually can restore the icons back. So, if by any chance that registry fix did not work (it apparently it should work), download and install Win7 orig. IconPack inst X64 by Mr-Ragnarok on deviantART

    sadly, NOTHING seems to work , t he ONLY this that DOES satisfy me enough is to MANUALLY right click each exe file that sits on my computer that doesnt have its own icon set by the compiler already go to properties, change icon (powered by icon packager) and manyally set the icon back for each individual exe file sitting on the machine, which is too tedious, a pain in the ass, and doesnt apply to new exe files i download

    Get the registry keys of exe and lnk from Default File Type Associations - Restore and merge these two with registry. Then restart the computer.
