Go to Start, in Start Search box type CMD

Then when you got cmd, type there "taskkill /im explorer.exe /f" without
quotes - explorer will quit.

Now type there each line and press enter after each of 3 lines. Note the
spaces.


CD %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local

attrib -h IconCache.db

del IconCache.db

After - restart you pc. Write thanks when you did it.
