I'm not sure hot to find what is corrupting the Icon Cache database file.
As best I can tell, Explorer writes info to that database when Windows closes Explorer (like for a restart). Perhaps at other times too.
Do the icons mess up if the OS Theme is classic?
Have you tried uninstalling as much of the Nvidia software as possible (e.g. 3D stuff)?
I don't have the 3d drivers installed, tried the old theme and even changed monitor to 16bit and back to 32.
I don't want to take more of your time, I'll try the system repair like "Layback Bear" suggested.
Thank you
Hi Everyone,
What is the best way to get Windows 7 Professional to display all the icons inside the folders on my desktop as "Medium Icons" (view settings) by default, unless I specifically indicate that I want certain icons displayed in another way?
Also, I use the file management program...
I have to set up a Broadband connection. But Local Area connection icon is missing. Someone told "drivers" could be missing... I installed few. But the problem is as it was.. please guide me in this regards.. Thank you

The folder extends this far, with no folders having any files.

All the sub folders were created at the same time. What causes these folders to created? I read that its something...
After Avast did a full scan it listed some files it could not find. They were in the /appdata/local/opera mail/opera mail folder/ So I went to check and found 2 identical "Local" folders. I have a full backup copy of the hard drive which is only a month old and it has only 1 local folder. ...
