Solutions for Windows desktop software icons being reversed

Inexplicably software icons become unrelated, desktop software icons are reversed, but the software installation directory and the icon in the Start menu are still correct.

Although it does not affect the use of software, but look still not very beautiful, in fact, the loss of software icon is generally due to the loss of the icon cache or the Icon file association loss caused. If the icon file is missing, you can only copy the corresponding file from another machine. There are also some cases of using some optimization software to cause the icon to be lost.

The most common solution is to rebuild the icon cache, where all the software icon caches are in the Iconcache.db file, which is a hidden file attribute,

Windows XP path: c:documents and settingsadministratorlocal settingsapplication dataiconcache.db,

Windows 7 path: C:users your username appdatalocaliconcache.db.

After you delete this file, reboot the system, and the system rebuilds the icon cache file so that all icons appear normal.

Also, if iconcache.db is not found, you can run it at the command line: dir/s/a/b iconcache.db can find the file directory.

If the reboot is unsuccessful, use 360.
