For some of my programs, the icons have vanished. This applies to both the pinned Start Menu items and the programs in their program folders as well.
Inkscape and IrfanView have both had their icons disappear. SVG and image files associated with the respective programs still show the right icons -- it's just the main .exes that don't have icons any more.
How do I restore them?
1Do you have any antivirus program running? Has it detected anything suspicious recently? – gronostaj – 2013-11-03T13:29:28.380
Yes, in fact -- Microsoft Security Essentials detected a very old virus on a very old IDE drive I plugged in a few days ago to retrieve a very old file. – JeanSibelius – 2013-11-03T13:31:36.830
1Well, I guess that may be the cause of the problem. Try uninstaling and reinstalling Inkscape and IrfanView and see if it helps. Don't run them before this operation, also be sure to manually uninstall first and ensure no application files are left before reinstalling. – gronostaj – 2013-11-03T16:11:07.310
