Icon problem after Windows 7 in-place upgrade
Ever after having done an in-place upgrade of my Windows 7 x64 installation, I've been having some strange icon issues...
This does not impact all of my icons, but it impacted some of my desktop short cuts and some of the items in the Start menu. These aren't too difficult to fix either by creating new short cuts, or by right-clicking -> Properties -> Short Cut tab -> Change Icon. From there I can point it to look in the right place for the icon.
The pattern I've observed is that Windows will default to looking in the wrong place for the icon. When I click on the "Change Icon" option in the Properties window, it will show an erroneous path to the file in which to look for the icon. For example, it will have something like "%Program Files%\..." when it should be looking in "C:\Program Files (x86)\..." Something like that.
And I just installed a mouse driver which has a tray icon. And the tray icon now appears as a generic white rectangle with the upper right corner turned down [blank sheet of paper icon, I think]. I know that's not right. Not a huge deal obviously, but the kind of thing that bothers me
So my questions are: 1) how can I correct a tray icon?, and 2) how can I get my new Windows 7 installation to automatically look in the right place for icons, without all of this manual intervention?
Thanks!
