The icons under recent for steam are wrong
Yesterday I made a mistake deleting steam and its registry entries and had to system restore to an older backup. When I right click on steam in the taskbar, the icons under recent look like this
How do I correct this? Reinstall steam?

Hello Gary,
If those games are still installed and open when you click on them, then you might see if
rebuilding the icon cache
may be able to help.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Reinstalling steam may be the answer, also you may want to try this
Icon Cache - Rebuild
after reinstalling steam.
