In addition to the above, random file icon associations are missing as a result. I guess it is a result of the fact the default icon package is corrupt...i.e. MS Word files....but not Excel files. Re-installing the app does not help and I have also tried to create a new user...same result.
I'm not sure what has happened here. I wasn't happy with some of the icon packages I tested as they were not complete. I restored back to the Vista default icons. Today I noticed some icons like .doc files had a blank icon so I tried to apply the default icons again. I get this message: "There has been an error loading the " icon package. Please re-install the package and try again." Obviously I did not load this package to begin with...it came with Vista
I think i found the problem. In iconpackager, there is a look and feel tab. If you click on the preview tab off of that, all looks good. But if I go to the icons and cursors tab, the control panel icon shows as the default one there in the "start" tab. If I change it an apply...the icon changes in the start menu.

Oh well...perhaps it is by design. But, I cannot find anywhere mine changes. Not on the desktop, start menu, or my computer. I'm not sure where else the control panel shows up.
I've tried a rebuild and repair. Also, removing it from the desktop and re-adding it. I never had it on the desktop anyways. From the start menu, desktop, and my computer...the icon won't change from the default. I didn't have the control panel in home mode but I do now...no change. For the themes that have customized icons for inside the control panel, those work but not the actual CP icon. Any more ideas?
Hello, I just installed iconpackager and have tried to apply multiple icon themes. However, my control panel icon will not change from its current one. As far as I can tell from my wife's PC, it still has the default Vista one. Can anyone explain why this is happening? All of the themes I have been applying have a control panel replacement icon in them. Thanks.
