Not only did this fix the problem with my icons, but it led to a solution to another problem I’ve been having for a long, long, long time. The Windowblinds skin that use is great except that when I open a context menu (such as right-clicking something or choose an item from a File/Edit/View menu), the menu is often invisible and each menu item only appears once I put the mouse over it. This became extremely annoying but I suffered with it because I liked the rest of the skin. Well, when I went to the Effects options for your short guide, I decided to try UNchecking the effects for menus and tooltips… and that seemed to have fixed the “invisible menu” issue! It’s only been a few minutes, but so far every menu I’ve tried to bring up has been visible.

After manually assigning each icon file in the shell to each of my desktop shortcuts, I couldn’t get the start menu to get back to normal. Your little trick, however, fixed everything in a few seconds. Thanks!

great! thanks… very clever.. sometimes we need to use some smart solution instead of digging up in the registry lol. but… it did not repair some icons… only a few. Excel, Messenger, and others like my nokia suite did not get fixed.. i deleted the iconcache database in documents and settings but did not get recreated..

Thanks for the great advice. Windows problems always seem to be easily fixed this way but it is almost never documented. If it were not for you I might have never gotten this fixed.
