    1. Back up the Registry by creating a restore point. 
    2. Go to Start > Run (or Windows-key + R), type in regedit and hit OK. 
    3. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cla sses\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Wi ndows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify. 
    4. Delete the values IconStreams and PastIconsStream. 
    5. Open up the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), go to the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click End Process. 
    6. Open the Applications tab and click New Task at the bottom-right of the window. 
    7. In the message box that pops up type in explorer.exe and hit OK. 
    8. Explorer.exe will reload, and the missing icons should now be back in the system-tray where they belong. 
    9. Then if the volume bar isnt there, go to taskbar properties (where the volume was gray) and simply tick the box.

  • Click on "Start" and scroll to "Run." Type "regedit" or "regedit.exe" in the run dialog box and press the "Ok" button to open your Windows Registry box.
     
  • Double-click the folder, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" in the left pane of the Registry. Scroll down and look for "icofile" in the left panel. Double-click "icofile." You will see two subdirectories below it: "DefaultIcon" and "Shell."
     
  • Double-click "DefaultIcon" folder. In the right panel, double-click "Default" under the "Name," which opens a dialog box. Make sure the value is default under "Value" at the top. Type in two digits, "%1" in "Value Data" field.
     
  • Close the Registry window so it will be automatically saved. Restart your computer and check if your unknown file type icon has returned back to its known file type icon.

    After typing exe did you  click advanced? Did application got listed automatically after you  clicked advanced?

    I don't know whether it is related .Anyway direct migration from SEP MR5 to MR 6 MP1 is not recommended.The upgradation path should be RU5-->RU6-->RU6MP1..


  • 14.  RE: Application Icons Missing

    Posted Sep 03, 2010 03:04 AM
    In how may PCs you are facing this problem?If you click on that icon whether corresponding application is getting opened?


  • 15.  RE: Application Icons Missing

    Posted Sep 03, 2010 03:15 AM

    Thx for reply arvindkm,
    Yes application is open but icon disappeared. I have facing 15-20 machine this issue. recently we using SEP MR 5 version and after upgrade SEP 6 MP1 the issue is come out. after that we stop upgrade activity for the time.


  • 16.  RE: Application Icons Missing

    Posted Sep 03, 2010 03:22 AM
    Which was the migration path ?.It was RU5--->RU6MP1  or RU5-->RU6-->RU6MP1?


  • 17.  RE: Application Icons Missing

    Posted Sep 03, 2010 03:28 AM

    It was RU5--->RU6MP1. its working nearby 200-250 machine. but some clients machine not working.

    It is not a recommended path 
    Symantec Endpoint Protection RU6 MP1 (11.0.6100) provides fixes since the release of RU6 and RU6a. This maintenance patch cannot be installed over any versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection or Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager prior to RU6. It must be installed over RU6 or RU6a.
    Ref:Release Notes for Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.x and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0.x

    Try to follow this path..

    Shell32.dll is responsible for loading icons..
    Make sure your account have permission to launch this file..
    Also check if you find any errors related to this file in eventviewer

    Hi Sameer,

    I have got file called missing_association,  this will help you to re establsih the association , Can you please PM  me your  email id so that i can send that to you.
    Once you rename the file to.reg and import it , i think the issue would be resolved.

    Could just be the rights on the (if default) "C:\documents and settings\all users" folder have gotten mucked up.

    Are you logged in with administrative rights or regular rights?

    Logon as Administrator,

    From a command prompt on 1 machine, try

    CACLS "C:\Documents and settings\all users" /E /T /C /G everyone:F

    See if that fixes your problem.

    Try this
    Rebuild icon cache as per this link
     How to Rebuild the Icon Cache in Vista
     

    If it is windows XP the IconCache.db path is %user profile%\Local Settings\Application Data

  • 34.  RE: Application Icons Missing

    Posted Sep 06, 2010 02:04 AM
    Finally try this and see 

    EXPLORER.EXE corrupted or infected?

    1. open registry  then go to 

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution.options 

    2. Under this key there will be subkeys named explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe. Delete the explorer and iexplorer keys entirely. They should not be listed under the Image File Execution.Options key. 
    3. Close the Registry Editor. 
    4. Restart the computer.
