[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.

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.

Consider the suggestion by "CJSnet" in the following link of copying the desktop.ini from another working Vista computer:

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!

Try the following:

Reboot the computer

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.
