Solved Icons in games explorer show odd icon in preview panes

This has happened with every game I've installed that didn't come with the install of Vista - http://i36.tinypic.com/6o0kky.png

I've uninstalled the games, re-installed, right clicked and pointed to the game icons manually and still Vista refuses to display the correct icons in the preview panes. I'm at a complete loss as to what is preventing them from displaying correctly instead of one of the default system icons and have so far been unable to find a solution. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is there a possible solution other than potentially a reinstall of the OS or at least a repair install?

Try rebuilding your icon cache.

The method involving the batch file didn't. The second involving the command line did, though I didn't go through as many steps as it entailed. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, osholt.

No problem.

As you are new to the forum I thought you might like to know how to mark threads as solved as well as the uses of some of the other buttons.

To the top right of this post you will see 3 icons. An orange (+), a set of scales and a red and white warning triangle.

The orange (+) or blue (-) denotes whether a user is on or offline (orange = on, blue = off).

The scales are used to give rep points; click this button if someone has helped you significantly or solved your queries (only give this to posts that you think really deserve it).

The red and white warning triangle is used to denote either an abusive post OR to mark a thread as solved (just put solved in the box that comes up and the admins or moderators will mark it solved).

I'll mark it solved this time.
