Really wierd icon problem I'm having this really wierd icon problem, my shortcuts have the right icon, but then its like windows has placed another icon right ontop of the correct icon. Like for firefox, it has the firefox logo, then smack dab on top of the firefox logo sits a logo that looks like a box with a cd. Ive attached a picture of what im talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to hafta reinstall | My System Specs |

Ok, well I ran a system restore, and it fixed it, which is weird cuz I thought I had disabled system restore. Well anyway, idk how to delete a thread, so I guess it stays. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built // Gateway FX P-6860 OS Windows 7 Ultimate retail // Windows 7 build 7264 x64, Vista Home Premium SP2 x64 CPU Intel Core i7 920 // Intel Core2Duo T-5550 1.86x1.86 Motherboard EVGA x58 SLI LE // Memory 12 GB Corsair XMS3 Tri-channel 1333 // 4 GB DDR2 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 295 // Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS Sound Card Integrated Realtek // RealTek HD integrated sound Monitor(s) Displays 19" Acer flatpanel // Laptop Display, Secondary CRT Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 1152x864 // 1440x900, 1152x864 Keyboard Razer Lycosa // laptop keyboard Mouse Razer DeathAdder // Logitech Laser PSU Corsair HX1000w // Laptop PSU?

I had the same problem when using Iconpackager and fixed it by using a registry fix that allowed me to use a blank shortcut icon. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew OS Windows 7 Ultimate Vista Ultimate x64 CPU Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz @ 3.8Ghz Motherboard eVGA 750i FTW Memory 2x2Gigs Patriot PC2-6400 LL Graphics Card Inno3D GeForce GTX260 216 SP Monitor(s) Displays ASUS VW222U 22" 2ms Response time Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Mouse Logitech G9 Gaming Mouse PSU HYTEC 600W & Thermaltake 650W Toughpower Power Exp Case Thermaltake Armor LCS (Liquid Cooling System) Cooling Liquid Cooling System Hard Drives SATA 150GB

Is Iconpackager a part of windowblinds or other skinning programs? cuz I was playing around with a program kind of like windowblinds last night, it was called alienguise, basically skins your windows, although it doesnt work too well with 7. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built // Gateway FX P-6860 OS Windows 7 Ultimate retail // Windows 7 build 7264 x64, Vista Home Premium SP2 x64 CPU Intel Core i7 920 // Intel Core2Duo T-5550 1.86x1.86 Motherboard EVGA x58 SLI LE // Memory 12 GB Corsair XMS3 Tri-channel 1333 // 4 GB DDR2 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 295 // Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS Sound Card Integrated Realtek // RealTek HD integrated sound Monitor(s) Displays 19" Acer flatpanel // Laptop Display, Secondary CRT Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 1152x864 // 1440x900, 1152x864 Keyboard Razer Lycosa // laptop keyboard Mouse Razer DeathAdder // Logitech Laser PSU Corsair HX1000w // Laptop PSU?

Yes it's one of the Stardock's applications and yeah basically all those sort of programs are not compatible yet and That's why I use programs like Restorator now to do all my customizations, it's not as easy as using something like Windows Blinds or Iconpacker but at least it only changes what you want to change.
There is a Windows Blinds for Windows 7 that is in BETA stage ATM but only paid members have access to testing but should be good once finished, I have already seen another member that has been using the BETA and the results looked pretty amazing. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew OS Windows 7 Ultimate Vista Ultimate x64 CPU Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz @ 3.8Ghz Motherboard eVGA 750i FTW Memory 2x2Gigs Patriot PC2-6400 LL Graphics Card Inno3D GeForce GTX260 216 SP Monitor(s) Displays ASUS VW222U 22" 2ms Response time Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Mouse Logitech G9 Gaming Mouse PSU HYTEC 600W & Thermaltake 650W Toughpower Power Exp Case Thermaltake Armor LCS (Liquid Cooling System) Cooling Liquid Cooling System Hard Drives SATA 150GB
