    Does anyone know if there is a hotfix to fix some strange issue where the user folders like the downloads folder and the desktop folder loses it's custom icon that is stock in windows 7? I have been having this issue on 2 of my computers for quite some time now lol. Thanks

    I use CCleaner with winapp2.ini to clean my icon cache (I kill explorer with the taskmgr first)

    or in the command prompt

    Code:
    cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    del IconCache.db /a
    exit
    kill explorer.exe with the taskmgr first

    Just run the following:

    Code:
    taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
    cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    attrib –h IconCache.db
    del IconCache.db
    start explorer
    I actually always have a shortcut to this in my start menu (made into a little ppApp) as I mess with icons a lot and as we all know the system doesn't refresh those very well on its own. The above code will kill explorer, rebuild the icon cache, and start explorer back up again. I've used it a thousand times and it works perfectly.

    If I want those from WinUpdate only I need to take the GDR updates only right?
    And are these also unofficial updates or only the final ones?

    So is KB2504602-v2 a x64-only update? It is not in the x86 list, yet it is not designated as (x64) in the update list. Thanks...
