    Notification Icons have disappeared


    Hiya!

    Recently, i attempted to customize my notification bar with some nicer icons. I replaced the icons for the sound, network, battery and action center. For about a day, the action center had different graphics, but the rest stayed the same, and now all of them have disappeared!

    Im running win7HomePremium x64

    the .dll s in question are C:\Windows\system32
    ActionCenter.dll
    SndVolSSO.dll
    batmeter.dll
    puidui.dll

    If someone ould help me get them back, even with the standard icons, that would be great

    did nothing at all :/
    i've gone into the preferences and all the system icons that i mentioned are greyed out. Is it possible that the .dll's are corrupted? and if so, is it possible to replace them with working versions?

    Also if your running 64bit system you have two of each of the files you mentioned. One in System32. One in SysWOW64. You need to change them both! Otherwise windows has a "dithery moment" and can't make up its mind and chooses neither!
    Sometimes they are the same file, more often than not they are slightly different so they need modifying individually.

My one year old decided to "play" with my computer and she somehow made all of my desktop icons disappear. I have tried going through and resending them to the desktop but the do not appear. Does anyone know how to get them back or at least make it so I can add them again? Thanks
