Try this link: Icon Cache - Rebuild - Vista Forums

It's for vista but should be ok for 7....I hope!

Think he deleted the .exe, not the icon.

What build of 7, and what bit version are you running?

Another way , if you have any restore points, is to look in the Shadow Copy with the free Shadow Explorer - find explorer.exe and export a copy.

Suggest you get the 0.4 rather than the 0.5 beta.
