    I have NO idea why this happined I didnt click anything so I think.
    My desktop icons will not appear. I mean they are there but instead
    of the regular picture above each icon caption, there is a white box
    with a blue bar at the top. How do I restore the icons to make the
    pictures visible again??? Please Help Me!!! :cry

    I'm assuming Windows XP...
    http://www.aumha.org/regfiles.php Scroll down and select the 'XP icon repair' patch.
    If that doesn't work, try using the TweakUI PowerToy from Microsoft. It has an option to rebuild icons under the Repair option. The version of TweakUI here at MajorGeeks is version 1.33 and doesn't list WinXP; so I've linked to version 2.10 here:
    http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
    It's a direct download link, this means that the download dialog will open without routing you to a web site.

    Good luck! I hope this helps!
