  1. Windows Vista Icons Borked

    Thanks to a nym-shifting, comment spamming troll who cross posted
    to microsoft.public.windows.vista.general recently, I got my
    first look at the Vista newsgroup. There seems to be a lot of
    unhappy campers, here is one:

    From: "AlanHo"
    Subject: Vista Desktop Icons Randomly Change
    Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 10:03:15 +0100
    Message-ID:
    X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16480
    Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

    I have added a number of document or website link shortcut icons
    to my Vista computer desktop - some are in folders containing a
    group of shortcuts.

    I have changed the folder and shortcut icons from the standard
    explorer icon to more meaningful ones stored on my hard drive as
    icon files.

    However - for no apparent reason - certain icons randomly revert
    to the explorer icon. Particularly those stored in a desktop
    folder. Right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Refresh" has
    no effect. After a reboot - the icons may - or may not - correct
    themselves. It is worth noting that it is only the icons I have
    allocated that randomly change and it is not always the same
    ones. Icons associated with programmes seem to be OK. (Word,
    Excel, Acronis, Nero etc)

    If I right click on the faulty ones the heading of the web
    document tab still shows the correct icon but I have to go
    through the procedure of changing the icon all over again to get
    the specific icon back on the desktop.

    A couple of weeks ago (for other reasons) I had to do a reformat
    of my C: drive and do a clean installation of Vista Ultimate. I
    hoped that this would result in the icon problem being resolved -
    but it is back again.

    I have searched the Microsoft knowledge base in vain.
    My Ubuntu icons work just fine, whether they be in KDE, GNOME or
    Beryl 3D.

    Isn't it great, that a noob is having a decent dialogue on a
    problem with a hardware issue and getting help? Nothing wrong there.
