1 edit | [Vista] Repairing Downloads Folder Icon Seems to be a regular folder icon. It did this a while back, but managed to correct itself since then. Now it has changed again.
I remember there was a command to repair icons in XP at the Run..
Is there something similar for Vista?
I already tried CCleaner. |

Windsor, ON | First thing I looked up and tried. I was hoping that would fix it.
I read up that someone else had this issue and it was pertaining to an update, but they didn't mention which update they uninstalled. |

Here's my desktop.ini file from the Downloads folder. Maybe you can just copy this into your Downloads folder and reboot.
[EDIT] I hope I'm not violating any rules by posting this... It's just a few lines of text. 
Please remove if it's against the forum rules. Thanks!

| Didn't work either.
The first shows what the folder use to look like.
Second one is what it looks like now.
I'm starting to think a program may be at play here, but the fact that it fixed itself before has me baffled.
I'm looking into getting a another hard drive, since this one makes too much noise. So, I guess I'll deal with it for now, but still by all means if someone knows a another way to correct it, please feel free to share.
Thanks. |
