How to Restore Icons
If windows desktop is having problems displaying the correct icon, and shows a generic icon.
1. Remove the icon database.
C:\Users\jfreier\AppData\Local\IconCache.db
I did not use this command, but the source said it would work.
cmd /c del %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db /a
2. Restart Explorer.
a. Open task manager. b. Find explorer and shut down. c. In task manager, File -> Run -> explorer.exe
They should show up. :)
