cscherme Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Ok, so I cannot get my recycle bin icon to look like its default is supposed to. I have never changed it, so I have no idea why it would have changed by itself in the first place.I cannot reset it to default through desktop properties (windows displays the default here, but its displayed differently on the desktop). I have tried rebuilding my icons with TweakUI, but it does not fix the problem at all. System restore doesn't restore the icon either.I suspect that either something is wrong with the icon path, or the actual icon in System32 is messed up.I am the only user with this problem, none of the other two users have different icons yet. The problem seems to arise when the icons are asked to default back, or sometimes when a new theme is applied.Any help is appreciated. That pic is the recycle bin as it is now, it wont change to the default one... Edited November 16, 2009 by cscherme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) looks to me you used themepack that patched shell32.dllyou should look into shell32 and see if different icons are initif not, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\Local Settings\Application Dataand delete IconCache.db file and restart your PCif no change, do rebuild icons via TweakUI again Edited November 18, 2009 by vinifera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscherme Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) @viniferanothing seems to work. Icon is rebuilt to that black recycle bin, deleting iconcache.dll does not produce any results either.

cscherme Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks to vinifera for attempting to help...I have found the source of the trouble and have successfully fixed the problem. A program never fully unloaded its icon skinner, therefore permanently making the recycle bin black. By reinstalling and uninstalling, the problem resolved itself.
