View Full Version : XP Windows - Desktop Icon weirdness

I've got a user profile that is Administrator enabled (if it matters, I'm not sure it's pertinent to the issue . . . )

The desktop shortcut icons for some applications will not display - just the text underneath the icon. The area where the icon should be is transparent to the desktop beneath. If I delete the icon and recreate it (even after a reboot), the issue reasserts itself. If I right click the icon and select properties, the "Change Icon" and "Find Target" buttons are dimmed, which is something I've never seen before :umm: ?

None of the other profiles on this machine have issues like this.

Ideas?

That is weird...

The only thing that comes to mind is the Rebuild Icons feature in TweakUI. Whether that applies in this case (or even if it works on a per-user basis) is another question.
