Desktop icons issue: most gone and replaced by default icon

#1 Post by snowy »

Most but not all of my desktop icons have disappeared and been replaced by a default icon which in most cases (the exceptions are where I installed a customised link and customised icon) is a greyish rectangle with a black square with a minus sign in it.

It is independent of whether I use Openox or JWM, and also independent of which icon set I choose.

How can I restore the icons?

TIA

Try this:
Find this file
/root/choices/rox-filer/PuppyPin
You will see file PuppyPin and PuppyPin.bak
Delete PuppyPin
Rename PuppyPin.bak to PuppyPin
Reboot computer.

May have to replace PuppyPin with same file from Puppy live CD or the Puppy iso. File will be in the Puppy.sfs.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:
YaPI(any iso installer)
