My Icons went all low rez on me (long story) so I need to know how to reset them to their usual high quality setting. does anybody remember how? I forgot.
My OS is XPsp3.

Doc

What's up, Doc? Don't be messing with your computer w/o making a Drive Image of the operating system partition first

Right click on empty space on Desktop > Properties.

Or change individual icons.

Try running this registry edit...

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"Shell Icon BPP"="16"
"Shell Icon Size"="32"

Don't know what happened, but it never reverted to low quality in 16bit mode before, but I just changed to 32bit color and the icons went back to normal.
I am too lazy to try to figure out what happened, so for now, I will leave it as is. :snipe:
