Oooh! So I think I might have found the last piece of the puzzle. At one point I right clicked on one of the links and use the Change Icon button - picking the same button it had. Then I noticed after reboot it had updated. I then tried via the console to touch all the *.lnk files in the Start Menu folder - and one by one they came back! <img

Right - I think I had IP installed while I had Win8. Simply to change the icon of one or two file formats. I uninstalled IP. Rebooted. Opened Regedit, backed up that key and deleted it. Rebooted. Still white icons in the start menu. (Not anywhere else though.) Might the icon cache need rebuilding? And how do you do that in Win10 without IP? (Searches for rebuilding icon cache tend to point back to IP...)

I'd like to find a small free and simple utility that adds a little weather icon in the system tray. (Preferable with customizable icons as I'd like to match the icons up with the simple plain white icons of Win7.) Anyone knows of such an utility? I search around and only stumble upon desktop gadgets - or all too complex, bloated non-free utilities.

I have a lot of opinions, usually try to keep them to myself. [/quote] Dropdown menus has an usability issue where you don't see your options until you interact with the control. As oppose to radioboxes for instance where you instantly see your options and can immediatel
