Shortcut icons are Windows defualt icon

All shortcuts in Explorer are the Windows default icon. The Start Menu
and Desktop shortcuts are fine. Also, some folders such as "History" and
"Temporary Internet Files" are the Windows default icon. I've deleted the
Icon Cache, which did nothing. What else can I try? Thanks.

Hello Ju.c

It sounds like you may have used the improper XP method to remove o
change the shortcut arrow in Vista. This will help show you how t
restore the shortcut arrow back to default

Shortcut arrows?

You misunderstand the question.

I fixed the problem by creating this batch file, (deleting it using
explorer didn't work) running it then restarting:

attrib -s -h "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\IconCache.d b"
del "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\IconCache.d b"
pause
