desktop icons

Posted: 06-10-2006, 08:45 PM
I'm using the Vista 32 bit version on my Presario notebook. When I installed
it, all of my desktop icons are normal, except iTunes and Adobe Photoshop and
Illustrator CS2 all have missing icons. Has anyone else experienced this?
The programs work, I just lost the icons!

has anyone lost icons on your desktop? I have all of mine, except iTunes and
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS2. The programs work, but the desktop
icons are missing!

I believe vista now has the ability to turn off the desktop icons, prehaps
you tripped that by mistake?

Yes, its a known issue, right click the icon, click properties > Shortcut
(tab) > Change Icon > click Browse > navigate to x:\Program
Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS 2 open the folder and you will see a plethora of
Photoshop related icons populate the shortcut icon window. Select the
appropriate icon and click OK > OK

Apply this procedure for the other Adobe applications and iTunes, just
remember to navigate to the appropriate root directories in Program Files
where these applications are stored.

You forgot to say that UAC will prevent you to changing the icon for that
file. I had to toggle UAC off. It's nearly impossible to work with Vista it
on.
