Running Windows NT V4 . After using TweakUI to get rid of the shortcut arrows on
my icons, most (not all) of my icons became overlaid with the same (but changed every
reboot), icon. Any change I made to the icons thru control panel -->display -->
appearance, the icons would be normal, I deleted shelliconcache afterwards, rebooted
- most icons would revert back to some other but same icon. Same thing if I used
TweakUI.
I tried deleting TweakUI from add/remove programs but it failed.
I got rid of every registry entry with tweak in it.
I got rid of every file with tweak in it, rebooted, and I still get most of my icons
with the same icon. If I changed a display setting and the icons go back to normal....
I tried adding add the Max Cached Icons string value with a value data of 2000 as
suggested on a MS web page -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b132668, still no change....
When I boot in VGA mode the icons all come up OK.
In VGA mode I deleted ShellIconCache, rebooted normal mode, ALL ICONS are now OK!!!
What an evening! All because I did not want shortcut arrows on my desktop icons...
I hope this helps someone.
Any ideas?
