I recently upgraded a friends computer from w95 to w98. The My computer and recycle bin icons on the desktop now look like this.<img src="http://www.geocities.com/justmefromer/icon.jpg">


The darn things open and I haven't noticed any problems but need to get them back to the original icons. I've tried re-installing 98 and have used tweakUI's icon repair. Didn't change the icons tho.

Thanks

Try unchecking the option to "Show icons using all possible colors", restart the computer, and then re-check it.

Try this.

Right Click -> Properties -> Effects Tab -> (click) Default Icon.

If that doesn't work, try changing the icon and then clicking "Default Icon" Hope that works for ya, bud.
