I know you've already rebuilt your icon cache, but could you please give (one of) these suggestions a try:

First, open Notepad and paste the below code:

Code: Select all

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib –h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer

save the file as a .bat file on your desktop.
Then open explorer and navigate to C:\users\username\appdata\local\ (make sure you've select to view hidden folders) and delete IconCache.db.

Lastly, double click on the .bat file that you saved on your desktop and all icons should be restored.

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
PushD %LocalAppData%
TaskKill /f /im explorer.exe
Del /a:h IconCache.db > nul 2>&1
Start explorer.exe
PopD

The PushD and PopD commands allow you to run the batch file from the command prompt without having to change back to your previous directory manually. I also removed the need for the Attrib command. Your version will work, so nothing against it.
