Icons dead

The email thingie is corrupted

It is a mp3 file but the icon is wrong.

The first image about the e-mail is such poor quality that I can't even see what e-mail program you are using there. The icon is missing most likely because the program is missing. (Whatever that may be) The second image shows nothing wrong. That is telling you that your MP3s open with Windows Media Player, and the icon you see is for WIndows Media Player. All is as it should be. If you want the MP3 file to play with another player by default, you will need to change that by clicking "change" in the spiraling radio edit properties window and selecting a different program.

If you click on it you will see it is perfect quality.

@karhn your mp3 icon is fine. If you want a different icon do what appleoddity stated and change what program mp3s open with on default. That program then give the mp3 it's own icon.

The e-mail thing probably isn't corrupt. Does the shortcut itself still work? If so then you may need to just reset. Right click the start bar and choose properties. Then go to the Start Menu tab and click the top customize button. Then uncheck the box for e-mail or try choosing a different e-mail and click ok. If you chose a different Icon see if that one is working. Then, go back and re-check the box and see if that fixes it.

Yeah, I did click on it, but it is really poor quality. Although, I did take a closer look and can see now it is Windows Live Mail. So, maybe Windows Live Mail needs to be reinstalled if there is a problem with it. Thats if the simple fix suggested by vectris doesn't work.

It's crystal clear, after you click on it once, you have to do it one more time to bring it to full size. Then you may have to click again to zoom in on the picture as it will fill up your screen.

Lol.. Ok.. I guess I should've just kept clicking. I clicked twice, but needed one more maybe. When all else fails, click!

The e-mail thing is fix , thank you for your help but mp3 icon i will show u some pictures of what i mean,

Karhn, I really don't understand what the problem is. The icon is displayed correctly for the .MP3 file type because you have it set to open in media player. I'm not familiar with the styler program you are running, but if you are talking about those trees, I'd say this is entirely the fault of that software. Perhaps try reinstalling it. I don't really think I can provide any more support for a third party product malfunctioning. Perhaps check their website, support forum, or call them.

The mp3 file icon should be look like the wav file icon a musical note at the top and mp3 at the bottom.

Open My Computer, select tools -> folder options -> "file types" tab. SelectMP3 under registered file types and click "advanced." In the Edit File Type window click "Change Icon." In the Change Icon window, choose whatever icon you would like it to look like. You should see your musical note with MP3 below it. Click, OK, OK, and Close. Problem should be solved.

EDIT: Forum hiccup for a moment caused multiple posts.

There is no musical note with mp3 icon.It was looking in shell32.dll

"browse" to C:\windows\system32\wmploc.dll in the change icon window for the proper icons.
