Theme Icons Missing

Dec 6, 2008

So a while ago, I installed a theme. It was some Alienware theme, some friend had recommended it. After a few days, I got bored of it and reverted my theme back to the default Windows Vista thingie. It was later I discovered it hadn't fully gone back to normal. Some folders icons were displayed as the Alienware ones. Not all, but only some. And they were all in the same area, my Documents folder, strangely. Anyways, I left it at that and since then it has really been bothering me and I've decided to get rid of it. One thing I did was go to the folder properties, go to that customize section, and set the icon to default. This worked for some folders, to my joy but it didn't work on some.

Another thing I discovered is the folders are only displayed like that on my particular user account, not on another one. I have tried deleting the icon cache or something like that, and I've used some program called Winbubble or something but nothing's been working. Any possible fixes or theories or whatever are welcome. A system restore isn't possible, as this, as mentioned, was a while ago.

Standard Theme Missing

Feb 7, 2009

I installed Vista SP1 Ultimate. By default the aero theme is activated. I would like to switch to the Vista standard theme, but it seems this theme is not present. In control panel / Appearance and Personalization / Personalization / Theme, there are only two themes listed: Windows vista (aero) and Windows Classic. Is there a way to install the Vista standard theme? It should be present in Vista Ultimate.

Icons Missing

Feb 24, 2010

I've noticed that I am missing quite a few icons from Vista. After shifting files around on my NAS, I noticed that the Show Desktop and Outlook icons had defaulted and now my quick launch look like this: and the favourite links in folders such as My Documents look like this: All the icons still appear to work but obviously something has changed and I cannot believe that moving rather a lot of files can do it (I might add during the process Windows did stop responding and failed to update the display until it had finished)

Missing Icons And Startup

Oct 31, 2007

I've been having a recurring problem with several games installed on my system; the program installs fine, but I end up without a desktop shortcut, and the program doesn't appear in the start menu's list of programs. With Bioshock, for example, I need to put the disc in the machine in order to launch the game - and on the occasions when I've installed demos, and have no such disc, there doesn't seem to be any way in which I can get the thing to start. Is this another one of these bizzarre user permission things?

Also - when I look through windows explorer there are two program files folders, when in XP there was only one; one called program files, which seems to contain operating system stuff, and one called 'program files86' which contains everything that I've installed on the machine myself. Would this be anything to do with it?

Missing WMP And IE7 Icons In Start Menu

Oct 9, 2007

Recently i installed Vista x64 Ultimate and as i remember in startall programs there are two icons of internet explorer (32 and 64 bit) and WMP icon. Now that icons are gone. Is that because Opera is my default browser and Gom and winamp are default media players? Of course i think that this is not problem. I remeber that i deleted that icons from quick lunch but deleting them from quick lunch doesn't mean deleting tham from start menu, right? Wmp and IE can be started directly by typing wmplayer and iexplore in search but i want that icons back in startall programs!

Aero Icons Missing From Quick Launch

Jun 24, 2008

My video card died, and I had to use an old card with very limited memory. The emergency card did not support Aero. I installed a new ATI card with 512 MB onboard memory (a Radeon HD2600Pro AGP 8X card) which supports Vista. I got the Aero scheme back - transparency, etc., but the icons on the quick
launch bar for 3D viewing of open windows or desktop are gone. Is there a way to get them back?

Missing Flash Drive Icons In File Open / Save Dialog Box

Dec 10, 2009

PC has problem displaying flash drive icons correctly in file open and file save dialog boxes. There are 4 flash drives (Compact Flash, SD, Memory Stick, and xD/SM). The 4 drives'icons display fine from Windows Explorer but all 4 drive icons are missing in File Open and File Save dialog boxes. The problem exists in every application's file open and file save that I checked so I'm thinking it's a problem with Vista and not with specific application.

Picture Icons Changed To Standard-generic Icons

Mar 23, 2008

All of my picture icons were changed to standard-generic icons when I had my computer restored to the factory direct setting. Now they don't display anything except a flower, house, ect. My question is: How do I change the picture icon setting back so I can see a tiny preview thingy for each icon, instead of having to click on each one to see what they really are?

Windows Theme Deleted!

Sep 26, 2009

i thought to get the aero theme to my windows vista. So i search in google how to get windows aero. I found a way to have by installing a free program called VistaGlazz 1.3 (Available in Cnet.com). So I downloaded the program, follow the instructions and installed
windows aero. First it was good but then i thought how to make it look more transparent. So i tried to download a custom theme of vista aero by someone else. I dont know how i screw it but the thing is that i put the theme file in C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes. I saw the old file of vistaglazz so i tried to delete it. But when i deleted it my computer got corrupted and the all the thing got in black. saw that my desktop was all in black. I coudnt even see the letters. So luckly i change my windows into the classic version. When i go to C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes i saw that my Windows Vista theme file had dissapear. Even in customization and apperreances there was no windows vista. So now iam using a aero without windows vista original theme file. I dont know how happened but I think that in a way my windows vista theme file got mixxed with vistaglazz aero file. So it got deleted.

Jun 22, 2008

I would like to run Vista in the Classic theme, but its horribly glitchy and slow since they removed GDI 2D acceleration from WDDM. Is it possible to hack GDI acceleration back in? What I really like is the Classic theme with Aero effects (zooming windows, vsynced,etc.)

Familiar With Changing The Theme

Sep 9, 2009

Download Vista Glazz, patch the files, download a theme, extract it to Windows > Resources > Themes. I've done that, but no theme shows up, only the default ones. Browsing for it doesn't help either. Sorry if I'm not being very clear. But I guess all I'm asking for is a little tutorial so I can change the theme. Where to extract, where each file should be, etc.

Live Icons Covering 9 Dead Icons

May 12, 2009

A Vista SP1 Home Premium problem - 9 live icons covering 9 dead icons: Several days ago I had a desktop with 9 live, working icons at the bottom of the desktop. ie: recycle bin, computer, network, control panel, etc. The 9th icon was a folder called 'powershell'.

Several days ago I deleted the 'powershell' folder, and, underneath that folder, was surprised to find a dead copy of the 'powershell' folder. The deleted 'powershell' folder was in the recycle bin, and an undeleted dead copy on the desktop. This dead copy cannot be accessed with selection, left-click, or right-click operations - so the 'Properties' info cannot be displayed.........
