Icons that are associated with the current version of Internet Explorer are incorrect after you install or uninstall Internet Explorer 7
After you install or uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7, you notice that the icons that are associated with the current version of Internet Explorer are incorrect. For example, after you uninstall Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 7 icons are displayed for Internet Explorer shortcuts and for HTML files.
This issue occurs if Microsoft Windows does not update the icon cache after you install or uninstall Internet Explorer 7.
To resolve this problem, modify a display setting to force Windows to update the icon cache. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click a blank area of the desktop, and then click Properties.
- In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.
- In the Color quality list, select a color depth other than the current color depth. For example, if the current color depth setting is Highest (32-bit), click Medium (16-bit).
- When you are prompted to keep the new settings, click Apply, and then click Yes.
- In the Color quality list, select the original color depth, click Apply, and then click Yes.
- Click OK to close the Display Properties dialog box.
APPLIES TO
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Server 2003
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Server 2003 IA64

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
