Icon not displayed in standard warning popup window (Win7x64)

<< < (3/3)

J-Mac:
Besides just quitting and restarting explorer.exe you need to delete items under the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

The two items are IconStreams and PastIconStreams.

After deleting both of those items, then quit explorer.exe and restart it.

As always you should first export both of the above items - or the key "TrayNotify" itself, just in case. Though I have been using this fix for a couple years without a problem. Supposedly for Vista but works in Windows 7 for me.

Here's a reference link, and if you search you can find more of the same:

Thanks!
