Inexplicable software icons become irrelevant, desktop software icons are reversed, but the icons in the software installation directory and start menu are still correct.
Although it does not affect the use of the software, it still looks ugly. In fact, the loss of software icons is usually caused by the loss of icon cache or the loss of icon file association. If the icon file is lost, you can only copy the corresponding file from other machines. There are also some cases where icons are lost because of the use of some optimization and beautification software.
The most common solution is to rebuild the icon cache. All software icon caches are in the IconCache.db file, which hides the file attributes.
Windows XP path: c: documents and setting administration local settings application data icon cache.db,
Windows 7 path: C:Users Your user name is AppDataLocalIconCache.db
After deleting this file, restart the system, and the system will rebuild the icon cache file so that all icons will be displayed normally.
In addition, if IconCache.db cannot be found, you can run: dir /s /a /b iconcache.db on the command line to find the file directory.
If the restart is unsuccessful, please use the 360 system first aid kit.
