Description fergusmurray 2002-06-27 08:35:36 UTC 
I carried out an install under my own (Administrator privilage) account, and 
the actual user is having problems with all the desktop icons being set the 
same.

If I do a repair on OpenOffice then the icons are fixed, but the problem 
reappeared when the computer was restarted, if I remove OpenOffice then the 
icons are fixed.

Reassigned to myself.
Because the problem is a Windows bug (see

)

Here an excerpt from the Posting of Olivier Jacquemin:
work-around:
- Open Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, then click the Display 
icon. 
- Select the Appearance tab. 
- Select the icon in the Item Box. 
- Increase the icon unit (size) by 1. 
- Select Apply. 
- Decrease the icon unit by 1. 
- Select OK. 
- Delete the file %systemroot%\ShellIconCache Note: This file has a 
hidden attribute. 
- Log off and log back on to see the correct icons.
