I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 2
installed on my IBM laptop model T42. I have all the latest updates. I have
the following problems:
1. I am not able to see the icons of my various microsoft and Adobe
documents. I am however able to open all the documents and work on them.
The problem appeared three days back after I had an abnormal shut down of the
system.
2. Whenever I connect to VPN using Aventail Connect Client, the system hangs
for about 20 minutes.
I have McAfee Anti Virus solution installed in my laptop.

Please advise resolution, if any one has come across such issues earlier.

Regards,
Madhu.

Right click, an Command Prompt shortcut, 'run as administrator'
shutdown the Explorer task in Task Manager
At the prompt, go to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local
atrib -h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
restart explorer (or windows)

That was the Vista fix, the XP fix is a lot like that, but easier. You
delete the IconCache file in the windows folders.
