Help!!!! I give up! I posted this question under tech Q&A and got no responses at all. Can any one help?
I am having an issue were all the application icons on my desktop are not correct. The same icon is replacing them all. Each time I reboot itchanges to something else. It is also affecting the icon for both of my root drives. I removed the ShellIconCache file and it still happens. A fellow tech suggested I install Tweak UI and "repair" the icons. It did repair them to the correct icon but as soon as I rebooted the issue was back. Help

Hi you must have a corrupt icon in cache, if you delete shelliconcache folder and reboot you should be fine.

Something similiar has just started happening to us as well. While the user is logged in a group of icons change. The user will re-logon and everything will be fine, but in a couple of hours they are changed again. It happens twice a day for her. We have reports of this happening in two locations now. Where you able to find a solution?
