    Silly icon question


    Okay, so here's the silly question regarding icons.

    I've begun to notice that occasionally the icons for some .exe files changes from the application's icon to a generic looking .exe document thing.

    How do I revert the change to the default application icon?

    Thanks,
    Rhit

    You can try to rebuild our icon cache: Icon Cache - Rebuild
