Argh! My icons!
on: April 19, 2003, 02:11:56 pm
Very recently, after exiting a game, nearly all my shortcut icons on my desktop and quicklaunch bars have disappeared/appear corrupted. (See screenshot) They can't be fixed by changing the icon back, or so it seems. Any clues on what caused the problem or how to fix it?

Reset/power down do the trick?

Maybe the files that archive your icons have been corrupted.  Very strange.  Perhaps remove all those icons and make them new after a reset.

I've seen icons replaced for short periods of time but not over a long period of time.

It's been like this since I turned off my computer last night... :(

Removing and remaking the shortcuts does seem to work, but non-shortut files are also affected. (such as documents and My Computer). Oddly enough, the icons on the desktop appear properly in details view. The ones on the quick launch bar don't appear properly in any view style. Here's another screenshot which is a bit more revealing than the last: Another screenshot

Do a virus scan. Lots of the nasty ones make the desktop go funky as a symptom. At least two I've had...

What about a simple "Rebuild Icons" in TweakUI?

Yup, your ShellIconCache has become corrupted.

What, you don't have TweakUI installed? :eek2:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

TweakUI's rebuild icons did the trick. Thanks, all. :nod:

About the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on my contact list, it's from about 1998-1999 when Jazz 2 was one of the few games with Internet play. In typical newbie fashion, I managed to get the ICQ #s of about 1/10 of the JJ2 community. :D I haven't played it for awhile, though, because of the lack of players and large number of battle servers. (I like CTF much better)

About the text files, notepad tends to get quite a bit of use as a post-it note substitute.

JJ2 had a net play option? Whoa, I completely missed that...

Start Game->Party mode->Internet play (TCP/IP)->Client

You'll probably need a few patches to get the listserver working properly, though.

I used to play that game a bit when it was released but the problem was that many of the people in the games were not playing at all; they were simply using it as a chat room, which made obviously made things somewhat boring. :p :D
