Ok, let me try and explain this. I have my favorites icon showing up on my start menu, but instead of showing as a Star it just shows up as a folder. It doesnt hinder anything, i just want it to show as a star for asthetics purposes.

Anyone know why it would do this and how to fix this problem?

Hello,

Go to your start menu, right click on the fav's icon and click explore.
From there right click on the folder and select properties. Go to customize and change the icon from there.

try that

no dice the icon isnt listed in there. But the admin account seems to not have a problem with the icon showing up. Im thinking its a problem with the folder itself. Not a big deal since i dont use IE anyway. I fixed it, you just need to recustomize the icon, using the choose icon. Then it recreates the desktop.ini file which was f-ed up to begin with.

Im just obssesive compulsive about things looking right even if i do not use them
