| 1248989 | 2011-12-16 21:49:00 | I have a system here running win7. Settings all apear to be default win7 It has shortcuts to favorites for, Press F1, Trade Me, Google Maps & White Pages. The unique icons for all of them have changed to a world globe. I deleted & re-instated 2 of them but they just show up as the std Blue Explorer. There are also shortcuts to various apps but they all appear normal. |

| 1248991 | 2011-12-17 23:46:00 | What did you just install? Paintshop Pro? Corel, Photoshop? That will cause it. Download download.cnet.com it has a repair icons feature. or You can right-click on any of the icons, click on Open With | Choose Default Program, and then select the app you want to open the file with. It's because the program - photoshop or whatever - has that file extension associated with itself, within the program. |

| 1248993 | 2011-12-18 06:03:00 | The icons (called favicons) reside in your temporary internet folder. To get them back, revisit each website and create a new desktop short cut. | Jen (38) | ||
| 1248994 | 2011-12-18 19:23:00 | Already tryed that. Just tryed reseting program access & computer defaults. When I clicked on ok, the "vavicons" breifly changed then went back to the globes. Also it won't stay on the Microsoft windows setting, reverts to custom when I click on ok. |
