Icons Acting Funny? |
| It's hard to find an icon on a Desktop that's cluttered with dozens
of them. Here's a quick way to locate the one you're looking for-all you need to know is the name under the icon.
Click anywhere on the Windows desktop and press the first letter of the icon's label. Windows will highlight the
first icon it comes to beginning with the letter-if that's not the one you're looking for, keep pressing the letter
and watch the highlight as it cycles through the matching icons. ICONS ACTING FUNNY? Are your Control Panel or desktop icons acting funny --they're displayed incorrectly or they're just plain black? Don't panic. It just means your Shell Icon Cache file is damaged (not as bad as it sounds). The quickest solution? Delete this file. First, start Windows in Safe mode--turn on your computer, hold down the Ctrl key until the Startup menu appears, select Safe Mode, and press Enter. Next, make sure that you can see hidden files--open any Explorer window, select View, Folder Options, click the View tab, and under Advanced Settings, select Show All Files. Now open the Windows folder and locate the Shell Icon Cache file. Right-click this file, select Delete, and if necessary, click Yes to confirm. Restart Windows 98 (Shell Icon Cache will be re-created automatically), and your icons should be back to their old selves. Great online Bible resource : Christian Research Institute |
