You rebooted after changing the settings back? Reinstalled the needed drivers?

Rebooted several times. All other graphics are fine. I am going to try and update the drivers tomorrow. I only have the Tower from my mate, so I have to unhook it to get mine up and running.
I cannot understand why it's only the icons playing up, and not all of them at that. Of the 15 or so icons on the desktop, there are three that are ok. Also, when you go to the start menu, the icons there are the same, but when I go to *search* all the icons there are fine.

After a lot of research and fiddling with shell.dll and shell32.dll, reinstalling that file is a good idea too. I've had a similar experience, with 98 (not 95) where a few of the icons went awry. I replaced shell.dll and shell32.dll, and it worked fine. Maybe something to look at.

What about deleteing the shell icon cache and rebooting? Think that would work?

I never thought of that.... but probably.

Deleting the shelliconcache did the trick .

too cool, too cool.

Thanks for the help comatose .
