It changed all the icons but it didn't delete the old Icon cache and that's why some of the icons haven't changed yet, you will need to delete the icon cache and then do a disk cleanup to delete the thumbnail cache as well.

Hi, Aceeze. Have a look at these links.Tutorials on how to rebuild your icon cache and clear/reset your thumbnail cache.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

Hope this helps,

Select show hidden folders in your foler options and then go to, C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local and delete the IconCache.db file and then restart, then you need to do a disk cleanup and select the thumbnail cache and delete that as well, then after a restart they should all be changed, if not then repeate both of those untill it works.

Dunno if this has been posted yet, but a nice little app for changing the Start button has been released. Might make it easier for some people who aren't comfortable using resource hackers or the like yet.

I presume you managed to sort the problem Aceeze? sorry for asking when it seems so obvious but I like to make sure.


@Everyone:

We should have a brand new installer very soon (first post has been updated) which will help with a lot of the unforeseen problems seen so far.

The new installer is being wrote in VB.Net instead of a WindowsNT command script which gives me alot more API's to play with.

(yeah, I know.. VB sucks in the eyes of the elite but it beats the old command prompt lol!)

Thank you. But do you think you can fix it. As It looks a little rough around the outside of the orb & if you could please make the size a little smaller as it overlaps the superbar a bit at the top. If you apply it as your start orb you will get a better idea what i am talking about. Other that that it looks good & I am thankful for you making it for me.
