    Perform a SFC Scan

    1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow

    2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    sfc /scannow

    A message will appear stating that 'The system scan will begin'. Be patient because the scan may take some time

    3. If any files require a replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Windows 7 DVD for this process to continue

    4. If everything is okay you should, after the scan, see the following message "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations"

    5. After the scan has completed, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    After the last step of restart, all of my computer's icons have been gone.Help me.There are no icons.Even, start menu isn't opening.
    Hello Maxviwe,

    It sounds like you have a more serious issue than just about icons if the Start Menu will not open. You might consider doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you had these issues to see if it may be able to fix them for you.

    Hope this helps,

    SUCCESS story!
    I didn't see my issue here, so this is for others who are searching...

    While updating iTunes, I moved a few icons from the desktop to the taskbar. After iTunes finished, the icons blinked and bam! the icons were replaced with Windows default icon (when no icon is chosen).
    The links worked, but the icon was wrong.

    After finding this great site, I followed the instructions (Option #2), and everything is back to normal...

    Evil iTunes. Always got to mess with Windows.

    Thanks Admin!

    I am having a similar problem. I had to do a re-install of Windows 7 64 bit and it is working great now. But I discovered my Seagate external hard drive wasn't backing up so I re-formatted it, uninstalled the software, disconnected the unit and was going to re-install it. BUT I can not get rid of the My Replica icon in the My Computer/Other folder. I have contacted Seagate twice with no satisfaction. They told me to right click and delete it and reboot. Of course, I had tried that numerous times. You can't drag it to the recycle bin, I have checked and there is no Seagate/My Replica, etc. under Programs. The right click choices are Open/Open in New Window and Create Shortcut.

    I am not going to re-connect the unit and install the software until the icon is gone. Does anyone have an answer to how I can get rid of this icon?

    If I can't delete the icon the Seagate unit is going to be returned...unhappily.

    So will the Rebuild_Icon_Cache.bat (download from above) remove this icon?

    Hello Donna, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Rebuilding the icon cache is only for when you have a file or files that are not displaying the correct icon due to the icon cache being corrupted.

    In your case, you might see if you may be able to use the free program Unlocker to remove it.

    Hope this helps,

    Hi all.... I just wanted to say, that I was having this exact same issue with my Win7 x64....

    My mp4's were showing thumbnails, but my avi's were not. I downloaded the Rebuild_Icon_Cache.bat on the 1st page of this thread, ran it as Administrator, and restarted....

    This fixed my problems quickly, and beautifully.... Thanks to everyone for their respective input....

Icon Cache Issues
in General Discussion

On my previous installation of Windows 7, I frequently got a corrupt icon cache. The shortcut icon which I had removed from the icons would get replaced by a black box. Clearing the cache would fix it but eventually it'd happen again. Now, on b7600, I'm having a similar issue. For some...
