Hello. Great article below. But not for me it seems. Tried to restore desktop icons, but still just have the description letters. No image or color. When I change from true color 32 bit, to High color 16 bit, do get readable but not clearcut icons (distorted).
Desktop Icons - Change or Restore Default Icon
Any suggestions? Thanks bunches in advance. James

Hello James, :)
Please go ahead and post a screenshot showing this to see if it may help reveal a possible cause.
You have some other issue at hand than the icons of the default desktop icons from the tutorial.
As a test, change your theme to rule that out.
If this has just recently happened, then you could try doing a system restore using a restore point dated before it happened to undo it.
happened recent. Did sys restore and a tweeking.com tweek. Nada. Here is the pic with the 16 bit distorted desktop icons:
Did you change the shortcut arrow overlay icon? If so, try restoring the default arrow icon to see if that helps.
Shortcut Arrow - Change, Remove, or Restore
ok, will do. But just went to control panel and opened folder then checked "always show icons, never thumbnails" and got my desktop folders back. Woop-it-tee-DO-DAHHHH!!!!!
