Icons missing! Replaced with the "unkown file" icon.

I installed an icon changing program, and it turned out it didn't support
Vista. Instead it removed many of my icons - for example the Excel document
icon. I reinstalled Office to fix that. BUT - I don't have icons for my media
files, some folders and many other common file types. How do I undo what this
program did without doing a system restore? Is there a tool that can fix this?

Hi Intclass,

You might try running the "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) command in a
elevated command prompt. If may repair the files for you. You can see
how to use it in this tutorial.
