Dear All,

I have changed the file icons and don't know how to reset them. I'd be grateful if anybody could tell me how.

    This command will reset all icons to their default value.

    ie4uinit.exe -show
    

    You must run it under administrator privilege.

    Did you try to clear the icon cache ?

    (mainly IconCache.db in %localappdata%, like at https://gist.github.com/realslacker/a568b04ee28aa8daa438f6074977ec0a)
