No Icons. Tried everything Help I am experiencing this problem from sometime. I've tried almost everything.
Already read and tried all possible solutions from these forums IconCache.db problem Icon Cache - Rebuild
I never deleted the .db file. Moreover there is no iconcache.db file in any of my other computers in c:\users\username\appdata\local.
Has tried automatic iconcache builders, the color depth trick, system restore.

You missed all the system icons and third party programs icons throughout the system , and rebuilding icon cache etc didn't work?
You told almost everything . I am asking one more thing out of curiosity ... have you shifter from/to DVI\VGA etc shortly ? If so, try getting back to the native one.
IMO, one thing is left which solves almost all of the issues, that is Repair Install . | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

If you were to logon to another user account, or create another user account with exactly the same account type as the one you had trouble, were the desktop icons present ? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 7741Z OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1 CPU Intel Pentium P6200, Cores 2, 2.13 GHz Memory 4 GB Graphics Card Intel HD Sound Card unknown Monitor(s) Displays 17.3 inches Screen Resolution 1600 x 900 Hard Drives 640 GB, 5400 PRM |

However the DVI port didn't work so i switched back to the VGA one. That is what I expected  Sometimes these operations mess up display partially, but you got it seriously.
I'd suggest you to disconnect the VGA completely from both the ends , and then connect it back .
If still not worked, you may need to uninstall and reinstall your display driver . | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Apparently there is no other way left but doing a clean install . I asked for more help in this thread, please wait a bit ... there may be any alternative way to fix it . | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
