Help! Help!
how can I get the shortcut icons on my desktop to look the same as they did on XP? eg, the google icon now is just a generic "e" with the arrow & google typed under it when before it was a large "G"
Funnily enough, some icons ARE the custom ones!

Thanks,
missmouse

Vista functions differently; a previous poster addressed this question:

Try FavOrg and let us know if that works for you.

I haven't used Favorg in years, but I believe once it is installed you then need to run it and let it scan, the program will pick up the associated icons and keep them in memory. Again, I'm not sure this will work on Vista, particularly 64
