Problem with icons . . .

[Bleed Green]

Somehow my folder icons in Internet Explorer favorites window (the small folder icons next to the bookmark names) got turned off and I don't know how to get them turned back on.
This also happened with the folder, drive, cd-drive, etc. icons in Windows explorer . . . no icons just the names of the folders and drives.
I downloaded Tweak UI and tried to repair icons to no avail.

Any help appreciated . . . have been trying to get the icons back for a while and am getting frustrated.

Thanks!

God only knows what you have done to cause that 🙂

try at a command prompt

sfc /scannow - that might fix them for you

Or go through and set every option you have to default 😛

You didn't screw up one of your .dll files did you?

Don't know . . . hope not. If I did how do I check to see if I did?

I tried max's tip but that didn't work🙁

Don't know what to do?🙁 ?🙁 ?
