I just did a clean reinstall of Windows 7 (from a restore partition) on my HP Envy 14 Laptop. Everything is working fine, bu icons are missing in Windows Explorer. See attached PDF.
All service packs, including SP1, have been installed.
I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to get the original icons back in place.
Thanks to all.

Hello Doug,
You might see if rebuilding the icon cache may be able to help if it's just corrupted.
Hope this helps. :)
Brink,
Thanks for your reply. I tried that prior to my post, with no effect.
I finally decided to go back to square one and reinstall the Win7 image. I think I found the problem. My laptop came with Stardock Colors, a desktop theme application. On the reinstall of Windows, I installed that application's desktop theme and the icons started to go bad again. When I went back to the standard windows desktop, everything was - and still is - A-OK.
So, it has been a lesson hard-learned. When something say's "recommended," view it with skepticism!
Thanks again,
Doug
