Hey,

In another(new) user account, it does the same.

But a friend of mine who's got knowledge about this, is helping me as we speak.

I'll let you know if it's fixed

Grtz

I downloaded the 2 bat files to hide, and show icons.

Bat hide icons works fine.

Bat show icons doesn't work at all

I can right click on desktop and go to View and there is a check by show icons. But there still isn't any icons.

I even restored the computer to a earlier date, and that made no difference to my problem.

I can't get my icons back.

Can anyone help me with this problem???

Well, I just fixed the problem. I don't know why this fixed it though. I had to go to my Desktop folder, and move all the files there to another folder I randomly made, and then move the files back. Now, I can see my icons. Nothing else worked.

Right click the desktop menu made no difference if you had show icons or not checked.

Refreshing you desktop made no difference, and restoring you computer to a earlier date did no good.

But moving the files from and back to desktop folder did. Strange...

Thanks for responding so quick though. But it looks like everything is straight again. I'll be deleting those bat files though. Not worth the trouble they caused.

Just found this tutorial. Using the 2 .bat files all is well except for one critical issue. For some reason, executing either of these closes all my open explorer windows. Thoughts anyone?
