[JoeyMini]

Hello! This will be my first post, I'm trying to restore all my system icons on my laptop back to their Default setup, but I Restored everything but I can't seem to find a Tutorial on how to restore them back to the original state, Any help would be amazing!

Below is a screen shot of how my icons currently look.

Welcome to the Seven Forums

How did you change the icons? Do you do it manually or was it a icon packer?

Do Option 2 of this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to find and repair any corrupt system files that you have. You may need to do this up to three times with a reboot after each scan.

After the above scan follow-up with http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

It was an Icon Packer, every time I try to do SFC I get the following error.

I'm assuming you've had this for a while and do not have a restore point before you did this.

Welcome to Seven Forums JoeyMini. Have you since uninstalled Icon Packager? If so, you might try removing this registry entry if it exists

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex

Delete the subkey/folder IconHandler

Make a backup in case you want to restore it

I also can't find those files, and im trying to extract the files from a iso file on my pc but I don't know where to copy and paste them to and from.

That would have been a leftover key from Icon Packer. If it's not there, it's not something you'd copy over.

You can try and manually change them...well, all but the battery icon

Just the Wi-Fi (network) action center, and system volume are missing, maybe I deleted the .dll files but I looked and their still their.
