Icons for certain programs are getting replaced with others in taskbar

[nikosawolfie]

Dunno why this is happening but for some reason the programs Quicktime and Adobe Reader are taking on the icon of some other random program in my task bar. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both but it didn't seem to work. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's really strange.

Your icon cache may be corrupted.

Do not know if this will help or not: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

I uninstalled the program thats icon was replacing the other two programs. This corrected the problem, however as soon as I reinstalled the program (image eye) the problem returned. I kind of like that program though so I don't want to uninstall it. I guess I'll try the above method.

It would be great if that would help, but if it does not or only helps for a while, here is more information, a fix-it, and a registry fix from MS: Icons change incorrectly in Windows

That's a great help Anak because not only does it offer the poster an opportunity to fix the problem himself, but the site also has a Diagnose + Repair link from Microsoft to have Windows fix it.
Rep+ to you.
