19989	2001-10-04 03:51:00	All my .exe program icons look identical. This happened when I changed the appearance of one .exe program icon using the Microangelo icon changer program. Now this continues to happen if I change an exe file - ie. all exe files appear the same. This also applies if I browse the contents of a disc or cd - the exe file icons on the disc all appear identical to those on my computer. How can I get things back to normal?	Guest (0)

When you reboot, Windows will rebuild a new set. One of these two options should restore everything to the way it used to be. ==Orac==	Guest (0)

However when I use Microangelo to remove the icon cache I get a message saying that is is unable to do so because of a 'lack of security privilege' or a system problem that prevented ShellConCache file from being deleted'. I have tried manually deleting this file myself - it has no effect.I have tried getting help from Microangelo but get no response. Any suggestions?	Guest (0)
19993	2001-10-05 04:42:00	Thank you very much for your suggestion. I downloaded and tried repairing the problem with Tweakv1 using both repair and rebuild. I assume the 'need to log off before the changes will take effect' message that I got when using this utility means restart the computer. Unforfunately it did not cure the problem. Thanks, Peter	Guest (0)
