    black icons

    Actually its not completely solved, after doing what i said, whenever i reboot, the icons become black again. And when i use temp02's method of rebuilding the icon cache, it fixes it till the next reboot. Anyone know how to fix this? or perhaps i should like make a .bat file of this command and put it to startup?

    black icons

    So i recently looked into how to remove those shortcut arrows and stumbled upon this registry edit:

    REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons” /v 29 /d %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,50 /f


    after applying this and restarting the computer, my windows 7 now has black icons. Its not black boxes over the icons, its straight up the icon is black. when i refresh, i can see for a milisecond the real icon. Anyone know how to fix this besides a system restore? (i don't have any restore points *Bang Head :bangheadall my icons have a black box, I have rebuilt the icon cache like 4 times and its not fixing it :)

    Edit and I also went into the registry and went to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer, and clicked on "link" and edited the value for it to 0000 00 00 00 00

    not sure if that also contributed to this problem.
