I have lost many of my system Icons. for example. When I click on start, the
icons for help and support, search and run don't have their normal icons.
There are other places that have this same behavior, like in the control
panel. Some icons don't have their default icons. Can someone please help me
get these restored. Thanks in advance for any Help
 
Shek;

Use TweakUI to Repair | Rebuild icons
[[Rebuilds all Explorer icons and removes unused Explorer icons from memory.
Rebuild icons when you find that Explorer is displaying the wrong icon for a
program or shortcut. Note that repairing icons may cause icons to lose any
custom positions.]]

Or, manually edit the registry and set 'Shell Icon BPP' value to 16:

Thank You
Took both of your advice and worked like a gem. Icons are back and now I'm
happy again. Thanks again.
