0 Subject: Disappearing Icons in Windows ME

yes. i know ME sucks. :o)

anyway, many (but not all) of my icons seem to "disappear"....well, not disappear, in as much as they revert to the default "windows" icon.

i.e. instead of the familiar "Word" icon, i get the "windows" icon.

but this happens for a LOT of my icons - and even if i change them in the properties screen, they don't physically change on the desktop or elsewhere.

any ideas?

thanks,

Tree

Do you screen refresh to see if that works?

Might try this.

RSF - even though that's for 98, and not ME, do you think it matters?

Doubt it mkaes any difference. I have had to deal with some thing similar on WinNT and used a similar technique. Actually, it was easier than that. Just increased the "Icon Spacing" one number:
Control Panel. Display. Appearance (Tab). Advanced (button)...atleast in XP. Item = Icon Spacing (Horizontal). OK.
That fixed the issue.
