Missing icon on windows explorer system folder on my taskbar?

I downloaded an app that helps in replacing icons. everything went fine except for the windows explorer system folder icon (i think its called as that)

Here is a pic to help you guys:


I know this has something to do with a registry error? Quesiton is, how do i revert that back to the default icon or if not revert, at least replace it with a new one.
If any of you guys out there can help me, it would be very awesome!
Thanks in advance!

What App are you using to replace icons?

You may want to rebuild your Icon Cache Icon Cache - Rebuild

Hey thank you! I've been lurking around the forums for a while and just registered now since i couldnt find a solution for my problem.

I did what you suggested. Downloaded the Icon Cache and restarted the pc. Now for the folders that I open, it does this:

Any time you use a app to mess with icons you run the risk of messing up your icons. I would recommend uninstalling that app and or doing a system restore to before you installed that System Restore
I would also recommend you run Option 2 of this tutorial SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will repair any corrupt system files that may have occurred when you used that app. If that doesn't help a repair install or a clean install may be in order.

The OPTION 2 didn't work. It would only "flash"/"pop-up"and disappear and nothing happened even after waiting and browsing for a while. Aside from those (including system restore) is there another way to maybe download a file or something and at the same time tweak some values/whatever those stuff are in the registry to help restore that missing/corrupted icon?

Basically, i think that the issue just lies with a missing file (that was maybe replaced by the conifier app) thus, that annoying blank file looking icon on the taskbar. In any other field, its all fine, it only does that on the taskbar when i open a folder.
