    :confused:[FONT= "Arial"]I lost all my Icons in Windows XP after a Virus. I can get some of them back but I would like to get all of them back. The Virus changed all the Icons to a folder Icon. I got rid of the Virus and Reinstalled Windows as an upgrade but this didn’t fix it.

    Please help. I don’t want to have to reformat and reinstall everything
    [/FONT].:eek:

    Do you mean Desktop Icons ?

    They can be created again as they are just shortcuts.
