  1. Windows Forms Application Icon suddenly shows as default icon or does not update color...


    Hi,Our C# Windows Forms Application icon in the taskbar suddenly shows as default icon or sometimes doesn't update its color based on the customization after installing the K8SOS1989 update. This has been working for 15 years, and the issue just appeared after the said update. Removing the update will make it work as usual. We have a VM that only have the K8SOS1979 update and there, the problem doesn't show up. The issue was also experienced by our clients, and we can also see this internally. Even after clearing the icon cache and rebuilding it, the problem still occurs. Is there somethi

  2. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Need default Windows icons

    Forgive me for taking the easy way out but I've been searching on google (images) and thru the forums and not found anything.

    Can anyone tell me where either the default Windows icons are located in XP or I can download the full icon set from?

    I'm working on creating a custom Micro$oft Summerboard theme for my iPhone because it just makes me feel dirty seeing all those Apple designed icons every time I use it.

    Thanks

    Caveat:
    I am not looking to instigate a Microsoft vs Apple flamewar, I just consider myself a hardcore Micro$oft fan which is why I'm trying to make the theme. If anything I've said offends any Mac users then I sincerely apologise.
