Library Folder Icons Not Working in IP
Using IP 5.10.032 64-bit
Monday, July 4, 2011 by sophiesboy | Discussion: Icons
I noticed recently that whenever I changed IP themes that the Library folder icons (Documents, Music, Pictures, Video) remained the same.
They appeared to be a recolorized version of icons from the "Electric Grid" IP theme.
After multiple attempts to load new themes were unsuccessful in changing the icons, I decided to remove the "Electric Grid" package from IP and set IP to Windows Default to try to get back to some other icons.
I have also tried "Repair Icon Images", "Repair Shell Icons" and "Rebuild Icon Cache" and so far all I get is:
So not only are all the individual Library icons gone, but it seems that the Library icon, the Favorites Icon, and "Recent Places" have all gone to a default icon.
Any idea how I can get IP to reapply icons to these folders?

Hi Lantec,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the .bat file did not seem to do much. When it ran, it generated an error message, the first time saying it couldn't find the file, then on a retry, asking if I was sure that the file was compatible with 64-bit.
In the end, I uninstalled IP through Impulse, which seemed to reset the system, restoring the Windows default icons for the Library folders and others.
I then reinstalled IP through Impulse, and it now seems that updating and changing the icons in question is working correctly.
Still not sure what this all means, but, for the moment things seem to operating in the appropriate manner.
