Start Menu icons

As I recall, my Start Menu/Programs used to display icons for the different
programs, but recently they call changed to the generic folder icon, which
means it's harder to find what I want. Is there a way to get them to
display the same kind of icon that shows on the desktop?
 
You could try rt clicking on the All Programs Shortcut Icon you want to
change and select Properties>Customize>Change
Icon.

Of course, you could change manually each icon for each program. If, as
I, you have hundreds, good luck. I am almost positive a utilitie program
allows to do such repairs very easily, but I must admit, I cannot
remember which one. I will keep looking. One option might be to run a
registry repair program which might detect this problem. But what did
you do that might have caused this to happen?

Try "repair icons" in tweakui

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll try Tweak UI first.

This is what I had in mind but I have so many utilities installed, I
could not remember which one could do this.

Thanks
