− | '''Sample case:'''
| |
− | | |
− | When I turned on my computer today, I noticed that my folders did not show their icons. They did work when I selected/opened them, but all their icons are lost.
| |
− | | |
− | '''Cause:'''
| |
− | | |
− | Sometimes icons can become corrupt because the section of the registry that handles them, gets full.
| |

− | '''Solution:'''
