Music and Picture icons have changed

[doglover129]

I have upgraded to windows 7 pro and after a restart, the music icon and the picture icon have changed. They folders still work but it is very annoying. After trying to go through the properties, I saw the "Restore default icon" button. When I press it, it does nothing. My other windows 7 Pro machine works normally. I have scanned for viruses but have come out clear. I have the option to change the icon to a jpeg or png but I would like the real icon back. Also, I have set up a virtual machine that shares those folders (XP mode) Could that have changed it? Thanks

Let us see how the icons are looking now?

Sharing with a VM should not change them, it may change, if the default program association is changed.

Did you do an upgrade from Vista?

Do Option 2 of this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to find and repair any corrupt system files that you have. You may need to do this up to three times with a reboot after each scan.

As an alternative, just, you may follow this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/34032-libraries-icon-change-default-icon.html and apply these icons in the zip. View attachment Desktop.zip
(both the icons are 16 layered, for all possible icon sizes.)

I should have specified. Its not the Library icons that are wrong, Its the folder in the "User" files. Such as C:\Users\user\(music or pictures)

OK, follow it .... http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/16336-user-folders-change-default-icon.html
Use the same icons as supplied earlier.

Why I ask is I have never seen though 2 icons in Windows 7 before.
Do as Arc ask you to do.

I have the option to us a regular picture (.png, .jpg) do you think that you can use the icons in your shell32.dll to upload so I can download them to fix it? (I'm not super computer savvy)

You dont need to do anything to sgell32.dll. If you cannot follow the instructions of the given tutorial, let us know.... we will try alternatives.

Btw... have you tried the steps Jerry sugfested?
