Icon's change to Adobe icons
Adobe sucks. It needs to warn us, before we download to install Adobe Reader, that installing the software will corrupt our desktop icons and make them into useless Adobe icons. What a greedy damned company, they must all be Republicans!
that installing the software will corrupt our desktop icons and make them into useless Adobe icons.
Before you go getting all upset over what sounds like a simple case of operating system file associations:
Which operating system?
What specifically happens? Do the icons for PDF files change to Adobe icons or is something else happening?
Any chance of a screenshot?

Icon have changed to preview icons
Hi.I use PEAK as an audio editor which uses its own file icon.Just recently all my normal peak icons suddenly changed in to what I guess must be Preview icons,the ones with the semi-quaver,a bit like itunes. Also every time I save something in peak the original peak icon changes. I have set the files to open in peak in the get info but it still makes no difference. Any ideas why and how can I stop this! Thanks,Tony
Ok, this is happening every time I launch Photoshop, the Layer Panel options "Show thumbnails" box is turned off by default, and I have to go in and turn it on again each time.
I recall recently that an AppleCare support tech, in an effort to fix some Mac Mail issues, had me throw away a folder in the Library, maybe Prefs?, and restart. This is the only thing I've done to my system in recent memory. No upgrades, no new apps, nothing else i can come up with...
Would really like to resolve this! Any ideas? thanks -
Most of my desktop icons have changed to itunes icons....
Most of my desktop icons and all of my quick taskbar icons changed to itunes icons after upgrading to 10.4.....
I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled using version 9 and the problem has returned.
For now I've removed all itunes software and my computer seems to be OK.
Is there a fix for this????Hi,
This might be caused by service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot in this way:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.
6.Close Task Manager.
7.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.

Creative Cloud Problem - Try Icons not changing to Download Icons
I just purchased a Creative Could for Teams membership and my icons will not change from "Try" to "Download". I've installed the Adobe Application Manager and I've also logged out and logged back in several times and the icons still do not change. Can someone help?
Hi David... thank you for your offer of help. Have come round to that view ourselves that the issue was possibly caused right at the start of our purchase. That's now 10 days gone by without access to the products and we are starting to wonder if it will ever be resolved.
Incidentally could I ask? Is it the case that the software should be available simply by logging on with your ID and password to creative.adobe.com and then selecting "Apps"? When we log onto creative.adobe.com and click on "My Account" it only shows 2GB space available instead of 20GB and on the Plan Information tab it shows the "Free membership" option when we would presume it should show our purchase of Creative Cloud. We have checked with our bank and the payment for the CC subscription did process with the first payment made to Adobe on the date of purchase.
The software presently installed on the workstation is Adobe Master Suite CS6 and is a high end spec HP Z800 (windows 7 pro service pack 1) if that helps in anyway. The Adobe Download Manager was installed previously as part of an update for our CS6 Master Suite package.
If you can fix this for us you are on our Christmas card list lol.....
Thanks

Can Tree's folder icon node changed to different icon?
Hi,
Currently, the tree and tree table node's icon is a "folder" icon. Can this be customized to different icons? We would like to have different icons for the nodes for different level in the tree/tree table. For example, level 1's node is icon A; level 2's node is icon B, etc...
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
-MinaHi,
I think the right way of doingthis indeed is skinning. I would try to
- set a styleClass value to the styleClass property using EL against a managed bean method.
- The managed bean method now is called for each node. Use EL in the managed bea method to access the #{node} EL to determine the row you are on
- set the style class to e.g. level1, level2, level3
- Then in the skinning you use
level1 af|tree...{}
level2 af|tree...{}
To define the different icons for the tree levels. Note that using DAF all icons are using folders. So there is no sense in skinning leaf icons

All the links on my taskbar and in the list of programs suddenly changed to Adobe icons. I'm running Windows 7. The links are unusable, as they all open Adobe, which doesn't recognize Word, Excel etc. In the end had to uninstall Adobe Reader X. I tried reverting to Adobe Reader 9, but same problem.

After installing Windows 7 my desktop Adobe icons have change in appearance. How do I change them back?
The file icons is one on the change features MS removed from the Explorer options. Supposedly you can do the change with the registry, though I have not figured out that option. If you want to try, backup the registry first and then you might try the instructions at How to Change a File Type Icon in Windows 7 and Vista - The Winhelponline Blog. If the application icon is not correct, try to fix that before the approach above. Good luck and be careful (dealing with the registry can make your computer not work..

Desktop shortcut icons change to Adobe after new install ...
Hi All -
Thanks in advance for your understanding if this has already been covered but after searching, I can't find a solution to my problem which very well may be something very simple. Btw, I'm a Vista user.
After installing Adobe Reader 9.xx or even an older version of 8.xx, many of the shortcut icons on my desktop change to the (white/red center) adobe icon with access to that program then unavailable as an error message comes up saying Adobe cannot access that program.
Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong or how to fix? After an uninstall of Adobe, the correct shortcut icons return with access working fine.
Thx in advance for any suggestions/fix -
Will in So. Cal.not sure how comfortable you are editing your Registry. Please do a back of the Registry before you do the following:
1. Launch Notepad by clicking on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
2. Enter the following into Notepad:
Windows Registry Editor Version 6.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thList]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
3. Click on the File Menu and select Save As
4. From the Save as Type drop down select All Files
5. Change the File Name to Exe.reg
6. Save the file to the Desktop and then close Notepad.
7. Double-click the Exe.reg file. Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, enter the password or provide proper confirmation.
8. Click Yes, and then click OK in response to the registry prompts.
9. Restart your Computer
10. You should be sure to delete the Exe.reg file after resolving this issue. -
Hi I am not that computer friendly but can follow clear instructions. However I have visited Microsoft technical help and what came up was to either fix windows file registry or clear or fix the icon cache, none of which was something I have done dare not make a mistake and the instructions weren't that clear. In the past I have never had a problem with Adobe but its just suddenly started. I am running windows 7, Internet Explorer and my laptop is a Pavilion HP g series. I would value any help please because I have to keep un installing and re installing when I want to use it. It hasn't changed the Word icons, just appears to be windows programmes and Internet Explorer. Many thanks.
The file linked to in the page above.
Locally means saved somewhere on your computer, like on the desktop.
Maybe you should considering hiring a computer technician to do it for you... Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. -
I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (32-bit Windows 7 on HP desktop). For some reason, I now have a different icon next to my .pdf files.
I no longer have either:
1. the red icon with the curly white triangle, nor
2. the white icon with the the curly red triangle, the red bar on top with PDF, and Adobe at the bottom.
(Sorry, I don't seem to be able to post htese icons.)
The icon is now an ugly white rectangle, that has in the middle a tiny red version of icon 1 above.
I can find the icons 1 and 2 in a .dll file at C:\Program Files\Adobe, but I can't even find the current icon in any .exe or .dll file.
I have tried various ways to get the original icon back, but without success. Does anyone know how to do it?
Interestingly, I did exactly the same uninstall-reinstall on my laptop (also with 32-bit Windows 7), and I now have icon 2. What's going on?Some further details about my attempts to change the icon.
1. Using Directory Opus, I can change other file icons on my system. This process does not change the file associations, only the icon. I can, for example, even download an icon from the web and change a file icon to the downloaded icon (without changing the file association).
This process, however, does not work with Adobe Reader 9.3. With this programme, everything seems to work exactly the same during the change process, but the file icon does not change. Even when I reboot, no change occurs.
2. I went on the web and found clear instructions about how to change the file icons in Windows 7 at
* http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/change-file-type-icon-windows-7-and-vista/
I went through their steps, as administrator, and navigated to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserCho ice
The (Default) reads (value not set)
I entered the following value there:
* C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe,0
which was the same value as at the other place they mentioned:
* HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDFPlusReader.Document\DefaultIcon
But I can't do this. I keep getting an error message:
Error Editing Value
Cannot edit : Error writing the value's new contents.
CONCLUSION: It does seem that Adobe is somehow protecting the Registry. Please, Adobe techies, how do I do this? -
How to change the web icon in the browser window
i have created my site and cant find how to change the icon in the browser window (like they have done at the top of this page with the Adobe icon before the Adobe Forums: text )would anyone be kind enough to give me some help??
Do you mean the favicon?
I only just recently learned about favicons myself - so if you google the word you'll get lots of resources for it. Bascially it's a little icon file that sits at the root directory of your site that the browsers find and display for you. As long as the file is there (*named favicon.ico*) it will show up automatically if I'm correct in what I've read.
Is this the thing you're looking for? (edit: it also shows up in your bookmarks list in firefox - if this is the one you want that's the favicon file)
Maybe you are looking for
