    changing icons


    I tried to open a program using the open with option and it changed the icons for every program on my laptop. I changed the desktop (network, my computer etc) icons back to default but can't manage to change the others. If i go into properties for the program and change it that way it doesn't do anything. Any help???

    Hello Kirbyanita, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You may be able to fix this by doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you made this change with "Open with" to undo it.

    Hope this helps,
