Hi damian666, many thanks for this instant reply, and my apologies for mixing up with "visamizer" (that´s of course not your product... ) Seriously: I meant the setup of vistapack for Windows 2000, and as said already what happened is the following: [*]Installed it via admin-account, all worked fine. [*]by experimenting with some settings of "appearance" I´ve lost ALL icons on the desktop, start-menue, explorer ... [*]unistalled vistapack, and I believe here I did "something" wrong [*]tried what I could, user-account is back to normal but showing the standard-icons even though vistapack was getting reinstalled. [*]creating a new admin account (after hours of trying all tweaks I know) is bringing back the icons there as well, but the standard-ones only. [*]What is running customized: cursors, sounds, wallpaper of vistapack with no problem at all [*]not running customized: all icons, logon/logoff-screen If I run vistapack 2000 setup, it tells me no files to reload ! backup-folder is empty, resources-folder is containing a lot. Not sure but believe I did wrongly the unistall procedure. What I don´t understand is WHY the reloader is not reloading the vistapack-updates again into the Win-dir. Can you please teach me ? Do I have to run something manually to escape out of that trap. This is how you can spent your time if your daughter is asking you to customize her old Win2000 to a fashioned look Many thanks for your support Thomas
