How to fix missing icons in Windows 7

Hey.  There have been some issues with Windows 7 missing fonts.  This is a relatively easy fix.  First you need to locate your AppData\Local directory.  On Windows 7 it is located here.  C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local

Now you want to view hidden files.  Press the Alt key on your keyboard so your file menu will come up.  Go to Tools > Folder Options.  Under the View tab there is an option for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives."  Now you should see a file named IconCache.db.  Please delete that file.  Now copy this text.

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe

cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

attrib –h IconCache.db

del IconCache.db

start explorer

Paste that into a text document and save the text document as fixIcons.bat .  Now double click the bat file to run it.  This will now fix your icons.

Good luck.  Please comment if you have any questions.  Thanks.
