So a few of my icons disappeared for I have no idea what reason...and I'm not sure how to get them back. Here's a picture: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/104/iconproblem.png (skype, microsoft word, and vegas are just 3 that are missing on the side there) -on a side note, skype and word work fine...but vegas seems messed up now So basically...why did this happen? And how to fix? I clicked on change icon for vegas and DL'd a vegas icon to try and replace it with...but that didn't work. I couldn't even try to change icon for the other ones. I think there's other random programs on my comp that's lost its icon too... help?

Where are these installed? on the same drive as your OS? sometimes this will happen if you have them installed on an external USB HDD or something and the drive is not connected or hasnt started up before the OS is up.. The OS knows it has "Skype" as a common program, the path for the file and icon doesnt exist though. then when the drive does connect, the path for the program works but it doesnt bother to update the icon. I generally find restarting fixes this.
