J'ai installé Visual Studio 2012 yesterday and during the install my path somehow got screwed up1. Since then, the icons for applications that are part of Windows are the default "unknown" icon, but other icons are fine. The applications that the shortcuts link to launch fine when the icons are clicked on.
Taskbar:
menu Démarrer:
J'ai fixed my path, but the icons still show incorrectly.
Une idées on how to flush what appears to be a set of cached icons?
1 Something took a path of A;B;C;D; and turned it into A;B;C;D;A;B;C;D;E;F; - duplicating a large part of it to that point that no more characters were available to type in the edit box in system properties. This had the side-effect of Windows reporting that it couldn't find %windir%.
Comment corriger manquant icons in la barre des tâches and menu Démarrer?
Re: Comment corriger manquant icons in la barre des tâches and menu Démarrer?
J'ai solved the icon issue by:
- Starting the Gestionnaire des tâches
- Ending the explorer.exe process (Clic droit on explorer.exe -> End process)
- Opening a ligne de commande window (File -> New Task (Run...) -> Type cmd.exe)
- In the cmd window type cd %userprofile%\appdata\local
- Now vous devez delete the iconcache.db file del iconcache.db /a
- Exit the cmd window by typing exit
- Starting the explorer again (File -> New Task (Run...) -> Type explorer.exe)
Now vous devriez be able to see the restored icons.
