"Can anyone tell me what happened to my desktop icons? "

They are being held hostage by a militant (and hungry) group of Greek Orthodox Artistic Extremists. They will be returned unharmed with payment of a large quantity of Souvlaki and Taramousalata.

Bush lied. Icons died.

Your icons have gone home for the holidays. They will return on Tuesday, January 2nd.

My icons left me Wednesday night and they reported back to me that the traffic was "terrific."

[Larry Lucido]

A group of iconoclasts broke in and smashed them.

Illegal alien icons have been employed in their place as cheaper replacements.

It's time to get another monitor...

[dinasour]

Windows keeps the most used icons in a file called iconcache.db

This speeds thinks up a bit, but it sometimes gets corrupt.

One way to force it to rebuild is just to change your color depth.

Right click on the desktop, select "Properties", then the "settings tab".

Change the value in the "colors" combo to something else, click OK, then change it back to what it was.

You can get more tips by googling "XP Iconcache"

I ate them.

Look in your recycle bin. You never know what kids will delete...

[RightOnline]

Just reboot. Problem solved. Seriously.

I did some more research and found the fix. I'm having to click on each icon, go into properties, click "change icon" and each of the regular icons is actually there, I'm just having to manually change them back one by one.

And all you fraudulent people who were trying to rook me out of my hard-earned cash by telling me that you'd kidnapped my beloved, sainted icons ... probably to yell "alihu akbar" and send the money to some terrorist group, or either to make a covert donation to the DNC or DU ... be gone with you! :):):)

Dear Sir or Madam,
Greetings and blessings to you. I am Dixie Abacha, son of the former President of Nigeria, Moses Abacha, who was killed in a recent revolution by the traitorous general Moosachi. I am bein held in detention, but before my father died, he put away 12 icons in the central Bank of Nigeria. I will be glad to let you have 33% pecent of said icons, if you help me get them out of the country of Nigeria, in a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Please send me your bank account number, so I can transfer the icons to your accoutn. When I make it out of Nigeria, we'll split the icons.

God Bless you...

Josephus Abacha
