ICO Deleted !!!

[rajkumar_personal]

Hi there ppl..

Long time since I've visited the forum !

I have been busy...you see !

I have been a lunatic some days ago when I left the administrator account running and let my sister sit and play games.
She's a monster and hence...she deleted the ICO extension and since then I am not able to see any icons in my comp !

I tried and recreated the ICO extension but I don't know which app will handle the extension ..
But I found that NERO could do it and associated ity with it..
But instead of seeing the pic of the icon...I am seeing the nero's icon...

What do I do ?

well bro one option is Install irfanView and Associate it with ICO....

2nd You could try installing TweakUI and running the "repair icons" function.

3rd Chances are, you installed a program that modified the association for ico files
and then did not restore that association properly (or at all) when you removed it.

1. Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
2. Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) key.
3. Scroll down to the .ico key. If it exists, skip to step 6.
4. Create an .ico key.
5. Set the default value to "icofile" (without quotes).
6. Scroll down to the key whose name matches the default value in HKCR\.ico.
7. If that key exists, skip to step 11.
8. Create that key (HKCR\icofile).
9. Set the default value to "Icon File" (without quotes).
10. Create a new key under \icofile called "DefaultIcon" (without quotes).
11. Modify the default value under HKCR\icofile\DefaultIcon to "%1" (without quotes).
12. Close regedit.

Structure should look somewhat like this:

HKCR\.ico
"icofile"
HKCR\icofile
"Icon File"
HKCR\icofile\DefaultIcon
"%1"

Note that "icofile" is unimportant as long as both instances match. "Icon File" is
also unimportant, this is just what is shown for the file's type.

Change takes place immediately. Display may not refresh until reboot, however. TweakUI's
Rebuild Icons will force an immediate refresh.

"%1" can be used to make the following file types show a built-in icon or a thumbnail
for an icon:
exe
cpl
dll
bmp (thumbnail)
icl
ico
lnk


Hope any One of the Above Solves your problem...

Open NotePad, and copy the contents of the below "Code" box:-

regedit /e test1.txt "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile"
regedit /e test2.txt "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico"
copy test1.txt + test2.txt = info.txt
del test1.txt
del test2.txt

Go to File Menu > Save As, and save the file with the name Test.bat and exit from NotePad.

Double-Click on the file Test.bat, a small DOS type window should open and close immediately.
After this, there would be a file called Info.txt in the same location where Test.bat was present. Open the Info.txt and post it's contents here.
