HELP

from Stardock Forums

After i installed mycolours i decided to change the theme back to regular windows vista, but when i did that my folders were still looking different like the icons from the previous theme. So i uninstalled mycolours and i still have the same problem. Does anyone know what i can do to fix it?

Bring up a run dialog (WinKey +R) and in the run box type regedit. Then go to the following Key;

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\IconHandler

On the right side of the screen, if it has a value of {611AD258-4138-4348-A534-9856FA6BA398} you need to rename that registry key from  'IconHandler' to something else, IconHandlerX works.

Then reboot your PC and the Icons should come back.
