    Desktop Icons are messed up??


    As you can see in this screenshot:



    Programs like ESET Smart Security, iTunes, Quicktime Player, Winzip, Microsoft Math, Microsoft Office Icons and Adobe Reader X all have the same icon (I think it is the icon that applications have but i have no idea why it appears this way)

    I restarted after a scan by SUPERAntiSpyware, and then all those icons were messed up!!

    Can anyone help me?

    Hello Jonathan, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Do the shortcuts still work?

    You might see if rebuilding the icon cache may be able help fix them.

    Hope this helps,

    Try right clicking on each Icon/properties and look at snip to change icon.

    Have you tried deleting the icons after using Brink's solution, then re-adding them?

    I know this sounds off the wall but I would uninstall winzip using Revo Uninstaller and re-install it.

    Do winzip first while I do some more searching for you...
