Hi - Welcome to PCHF - ..................

First try this;

Download CCleaner from CCleaner - Download
Then install.
I suggest when asked untick all the options apart from the top one

CCleaner:

Under the Cleaner section: select “Run Cleaner”

Under the Registry section: select “Scan for Issues”

(when asked about registry “Backup” save & then accept where it saves it to.)
then “Fix Selected Issues”

Do the Registry option again..(and again until no issues found)

Should i restart my pc after everything is done ?

k am done and restarted nothing its all still the same ...

Windows maintains a cached copy of all the icons on the system to avoid having to reload the icons every time they are displayed. If this icon cache becomes corrupt then the wrong icons may be shown.

To clear the icons cache make sure you can view hidden files, and then open your Windows directory in Windows Explorer and delete the file calledShellIconCache.

When you restart Windows the icon cache file will be automatically recreated and all your icons will be back to normal.

A big A to the Windows XP Bible for this tip...

Double dipping here.

If you cannot find it in the Windows folder, delete IconCache.db located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db

Then restart your computer...

k im gonna try this out and report back to you
