Can't get rid of the old round icon (have read the FAQ!)

[KnightAzul]

Hi,

No matter what I do I can't get rid of the old round utorrent program icon associated with files with the extension .torrent. I have 1.8.1 installed (upgraded from previous versions) which has the newer square icon, however:

* Files with the extension .torrent still show the round icon

* The "Open with..." windows menu for files with the extension .torrent show uTorrent program still with the round icon

* The uTorrent .exe has the square icon in the folder: C:\Program Files\uTorrent

* The start menu shortcut for uTorrent has the the square icon

* I have deleted the windows file associations for .torrent file extensions and it comes back with the round icon when I associate from within the uTorrent 1.8.1 program

* When I try to re-associate the .torrent file extension with the uTorrent .exe in the folder: C:\Program Files\uTorrent manually, it still comes back with the round icon even though it shows the square icon as being to only one available for the uTorrent .exe.

I have reinstalled and still no luck.

Anyone know how I can get the square icon with the .torrent files

This screen shot might explain a little more...

Thanks for any help!

That would require you to either reassociate .torrent files with uTorrent or rebuild the icon cache for windows.

Indeed, I've had the same issue before, and ended up having to clear my icon cache. Tweak UI's repair section allows you to do that.

Sorted. Worked like a treat with Tweak UI. Under the Repair section there is an option to "Rebuild Icons", which solved the problem.

Many thanks!
