Outlook 2007 showing old-fashioned folder icons
hello wise ones, I have a small problem which is vexing me, and I cannot resolve it.
I use Outlook 2007 and have it installed on two accounts on this computer - Administrative and my pawz account. Recently I played around with the fonts on the pawz account as my eyesight is not so good, so now everything is bolded (I would change it back if I remembered how, but I do not really believe that is the problem). The other thing that has changed, and I also think is a red herring, is that I now have a 24" wide monitor.I downloaded eM as well and used that for a while, because I wanted a darker screen - too much white looking at Outlook on the new monitor. I don't see how any of these recent changes could affect Outlook.
The problem is that the icons for the folders in Outlook have changed from what they should look like to images you would see in Windows 95 or the old Outlook Express format - they are still displaying as folders and everything works, but it isn't how it should be. If I go to the Admin account and run Outlook there, everything is as it should be and the icons are correctly pictured.
I have tried deleting the icon cache, running the diagnostics that comes with Outlook and uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office, but the problem is not solved. I downloaded Shellexview and its sister program but could not see any missing icons there , nothing to 'associate'- but did notice there were not any for Outlook being displayed in the menuview. I also did sfc and uninstalled eM - nothing has resolved the issue, and although I can still use Outlook as normal it really grates.. any ideas please?
