Folder and Win7 standard icons missing?

[Arc]

Let me search for the non sp1 system files , if any of our users have it, we will get it .

I have it. Had trouble attaching it to my post. Put it up on Uploading.com imageres.dll

Thanks a lot

Is that the one to be put in the system32 folder or the other one?

I am not %100 on this for you. But mine is definitely found in the sytem32 folder.

Hi! Ive been following threads and discussions regarding missing icons for those who uninstalled Hyperdesk themes. I finally found this one but sadly, the solution was for a 64bit Win7. I would like to bump this thread and see if anyone can help me fix the same problem the threadstarted had. Only thing is, Im running a 32 bit Win7. Thanks guys!

Nope, still the same.

Here's exactly what I did:

Took ownership of both imageres.dll in system32 and SysWOW64 folders.
Replaced them with your .rar files (renamed the originals).
Rebuild the icon cache and deleted thumbnail cache (in that order).
Restarted the machine.
Nothing changed so I rebuild the icon cache again, deleted the thumbnail cache again. Restarted again (don't know how often I restarted now...) But same result

One thing I noticed is that all folder icons on the desktop show up right but it's only the Windows Explorer that shows missing icons, like in the screeshots I posted in #1.

Maybe it's not the imageres.dll but another resource file in Windows? Or are all icons in that file?

In case you are unaware of it, "rar" is a compression format and the files need to be decompressed before use.

Just an FYI.

HTH

Hello and welcome aboard, riou06. Let us know, is your system a SP1 , or not ?

 

[riou06]

Thanks Arc! Im not sure what service pack I'm running but winver says I have Windows7 Ultimate, ver 6.1 Build 7600. I believe Im not running at any SPs.

Build 7600, that means there is no service pack is installed.

You download and install Win7 orig. IconPack inst X86 by ~Mr-Ragnarok on deviantART , hopefully your issue will be solved.

You should also install SP1. Hold the Windows Logo key and press Pause/Break. In the windows that opens click Windows Update in the lower left pane. In the next window in the upper left, click Check for Updates. SP1 may be included in the offered updates, if not install the updates and do the same steps again until SP1 is offered.

Hi again, I tried your suggestions but sadly, none of them worked. I installed SP1, I did the sfc /scannow and installed the Icon pack Arc suggested. Im not sure whats wrong but nothing changed even I did those things.

 

[Arc]

After installing SP1, the icon pack will not work. Coz it is for build 7600

As everything failed (some fixes really have nothing to do in this issue), can you perform a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html ?

I have tried several different solutions that were previously posted on this tread but I ended up trying something different.

I found out that inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer there was a Key called "Shell Icons", and inside that Key there were multiple values pointing to personalized icons used by HP theme that was no longer being used.

After deleting the key Shell Icons and restarting Windows, all the icons came back to default appearance.

Thanks Bruno, it worked on my buddies HP laptop
We just deleted the key, rebooted and now it works perfectly :>
