MIDI-OX User Forum    General    Desktop Icon Save and Restore (Moderator: Jamie OConnell)    Possible Bug? « Previous topic | Next topic » Pages: 1  Reply Notify of replies Send Topic Print    Author  Topic: Possible Bug?  (Read 1694 times) hse51 New Member MIDI-OX Rules!     Posts: 3 Possible Bug? « on: Jan 26th, 2009, 12:26pm » Quote Modify I run Vista 32 and about every 5 times I reboot my machine all my icons except for the regular ones (folder, recycle,network, etc.) change to a generic icon.  I have tried to change them back to their assigned icon using the 'change icon' in folder properties, but it doesn't work.  The only way I could change the icons back was to install a recent disk image.  Any ideas or thoughts?
