Icon Cache gone, missing, disappeared

Published on February 23, 2009 By The__Goo In Object Desktop

My issue is that after installing Object Desktop on my Vista x64 system, namely Icon Packager... various icons throughout the system are blank. I mean blank by the default icon is used. Vista uses an icon that looks like paper with the corner folded over.

The first thing I tried to do is changing the Vista default icons to some theme but the result ended up setting the icons that were blank to the themes default blank icon. I noticed the iconcache.db was not where it was supposed to be, but I assumed this was a Icon packager deal having to use it. So I decided to uninstall icon packager to no avail. I went to the iconcache.db that was replaced after uninstalling icon packager and deleted it hoping to rebuild the icon cache. During all these steps I did the necessary reboots.

Nothing has worked and I am hoping someone knows how to fix this issue.
