My folder icons (yellow folders) have all changed into white boxes with a
little square inside. I try to restore defaults but they do not change back.
I read somewhere about deleting the iconcache but dont know how to do this!
Any help appreciated!

Sorry but I didn't get very far with this solution. I don't know how to go to
Go to C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local, and I can't find "IconCache.db".
Please help a computer novice!
