Solved Downloads file icon won't appear ??

[lastbreath]

Hi

I tried Properties -> customize -> Restore default but nothing changes ??

I think it's already in default because in the navigation bar still normal .. when I open the user folder first two seconds appears normal then change to this

Hello lastbreath

Try this see if that brings the icon back - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

If not the icon may be corrupt so try running this - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

Post back and let us know if you get sorted

I tried the two options but still ???????????????

What was the result of the sfc scan?
One (?) per question plenty.

Here is the sfcdetails
2shared - download sfcdetails.txt

I thought maybe a folder in the downloads having this black icon causing the problem so I moved the files to another folder but still !

Do you think coping downloads folder from another windows will solve the problem ?

That looked good, however run sfc /scannow once more or until the result is No File integrity violations found. I don't recommend copying the DL folder from another PC.

As a workaround, direct your downloads to your Desktop, or make a folder on it for downloads. That's how I do it and they are always easy to locate.

Ok lastbreath

After running the SFC /SCANNOW command until No File integrity violations are found have a look at this see if that will bring it back for you - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/16312-user-folders-restore-default-icon.html
I would also restore the default location whilst we get the icon back - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18583-user-folders-restore-default-location.html
Have you changed any icons on your system especially in C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll

I used - User Folders - Restore Default Icon .. the one in the c://user .. etc changed but the one in the user folder on the desktop has not .. so I tried checking desktop icons removing user folder and then restoring it .. and it work

Thank you guys ..
