Hello, I've encountered a problem with my computer image setup. I'm tryng to fine the flower vase icon to use for png format pictures but all I'm getting is the shapes icon used for gif images. If there anyway I can fix the registry so I can have the flower vase icon back so I can be able to distinguish between jpg, gif and png images again?
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user experiencing issues with file icon associations for PNG images, where the expected flower vase icon appears for all image types, making differentiation difficult. Attempts to fix the problem, including rebuilding the icon cache as suggested by another user, did not resolve the issue. The conversation concludes with advice to consider performing a system restore from a previous date when the icons displayed correctly, but no definitive solution is provided.

It might be too late to suggest this, or that this problem happened since "day one", do a system restore.
Is it too late to do a system restore, and pick a Good date when you did not have this problem as your restore point?
Unless you had deleted all the restore points in your recent disk cleanup, you should have quite a list of restore points to choose from.
