Help! Where have my XP icons gone?

One day I was going through my favorites and realized they dont have the little icons next to them. Then I realized that neither did the folders in my computer.

Here is a screen shot

How do I turn those icons back on?

Thanks in advanced.
 
hmmm. well, you can download tweakui (it's on microsoft's site, google it) It has a repair part and it can repair icons.
 
Have you tried in the tools menu?
have you tried right clicking in that program?
have you tried right clickin on the desktop?
have you tried looking around in the control center?
 
Tried google and have tried clicking anything that might have to do with it.

Should I just do a repair of windows?
 
try going into Control Panel, SYSTEM, click on ADVANCED, click the PERFORMANCE SETTINGS, and choose AdJUST FOR BEST APPEARANCE.

that should do it
 
Once upon a time I installed some pos free icon software and I had weird things happen similar to your problem. It went away after I uninstalled the program, upon repairing the icons with TweakUI. Of course, I've reformatted and reinstalled many times since on that box and never used that program again.

Try uninstalling any "icon" viewing or changing programs and subsequently repair with TweakUI. Also, try deleting the iconcache file and let it rebuild itself.
 
Sigh, I appreciate all your help, but I still have the problem. I'm pretty sure I havent used any Icon programs. I guess my next step would be to do a repair, unless anyone else has any tips?
