    For some reason I started up my computer and when I went into My Music all the music icons have changed to old ones; this is the same for WinZip icons aswell. Does anyone know how I can restore all my icons to their original design?

    Thanks

    I'm assuming you are talking about your mp3 files. If so just right click one of the files and choose "Open With." Then select your music player and make sure the box that says "always open with......" is checked. That's the fastest way to fix files like that.

    You can also try TweakUI's rebuild icon function.

    And for a more advanced approach: from one of your folders go to Tools--Folder Options--File Types. You can change what each individual extension opens with and what icon represents them. Good luck!
