1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click Display, click the Desktop tab, and then click Customize Desktop. 3. Select Restore Defaults For Win XP go to Start>Control Panel>Folder Options. Select the File Types tab and find zip in the window and click 'Advanced'. Once in the Advanced window choose 'change icon' and change the icon to whatever is in the window (the winzip icon is in the winzip directory) that you want. Follow the same procedure for the txt extension and you should be back to normal.

Hi Welcome to the WTT forum, It's normally best to start a new topic rather than joining in someone else's, especially if the topic is several years old since the last post. Nevertheless let's continue here for a while... Try this: 1 Right Click a blank space on your desktop 2 Click on Properties 3 Click on Desktop 4 Click on Browse 5 Select your desktop image 6 Click Apply 7 Click OK see how you go. If this does not help, then you will need to send us a lot more information on: 8 details of your machine, service pack level , and a complete list of all the things you have tried so far. 9 What you were doing with you machine (changes) in the week before the trouble started, any new applications installed/uninstalled and details of any changes you made to any settings. 10 Have you tried a "system restore" using a Windows system restore point, to a time before the trouble started? 11 Have you checked for malware on your machine? or recently run any anti spyware or anti virus applications, if so what was the result 12 Does your machine exhibit any other symptoms? If you let us know these details we will be in a better position to suggest some steps you may wish to consider. Regards paws
