    Live folder icons messed up, want to reset to default


    hello, I'm new, and before I begin, I'm sorry for my bad english

    the story is, at first (at 2011) I modified my default windows 7 icons with this things called Token IconPack Installer. here's the link if you want to know:
    okay, done, everything's went great.
    and this morning, I decided to 'makeover' my windows icon again, this time I'm using IconPackager
    well, it went good, but, there's some icon that wasn't even changed and still using the old Token Icon, and that icon problem is at live folder icons, which folder icons that shows its content. Well, so I'm trying to modify it to change it manually via IconPackager features there, and yup it works good and the only problem is it doesn't show correctly.
    So I decided to go back to default, but it became more messed up.
    then I tried uninstall that apps, but still, it messed up badly!
    well, confused, I search all over internet about how to restore the live folder icon to default state.
    I found none, so I started to use Token IconPack Uninstaller that was packed as one with the link I gave before and hoping that all of the customized icons could be yellow again like the default.
    well, it's not!
    I tried the sfc /scannow method in the results I've got this old-looked windows themed (not aero) and some of the icons back to the normal windows 7 icons.
    the problem is here:


    I don't know what to do anymore, any kind of help is appreciated.
    if it doesn't show up, please open the attachment.
    once again, sorry for my bad english

    UPDATE

    SOME ISSUES FIXED, NEW FOUND PROBLEMS FOUND TOO

    FIXED

    • LiveFolder Icons
      problem solved by deleting the messed up folder, and try to make a new folder as a replace for the messed up folder (move your messed up folder files to the new folder, it works to me)
    • Taskbar Icon
      sfc /scannow result in some of the taskbar icon not showing up (blank), so I change it manually by right-click, properties, shortcut tab, and change icon...
      find the .exe location and paste it and add the apps name (ex: c:\windows , add the apps name, c:\windows\explorer.exe)



      NEW PROBLEM
      file that has .zip, .7z, .rar extension icon not showing up on my Internet Download Manager ( thumbnail maybe? )
      see pic above.
      SOLVED
      reinstall IDM and WinRaR

      wanna say thanks to Arc and AddRam for the big help!

      and once more, sorry for my bad english

    Hey Arc, thanks for your help..
    I fixed the problem (live folder and taskbar icon) by experiment last night..
    I use that link you gave to see if my new problem (IDM .7z .rar .zip thumbnail error) can be solved.
    but, nah, it doesn't help.
    if you don't mind, please see my #1 updated post, thanks again for your response! :)

    That's obvious. And I asked for this particular feedback that which things are not back to system default, only for the reason. Try to understand one thing, I supplied you a link of system default icons. It must not help with third party icons like IDM or winrar.

    Easiest way, install IDM and winrar once again, on the top of the existing installation (repair install).

    Also follow the link AddRAM suggested, its good.
