Unhappy corrupt icons

hello everyone,

I have a little problem...you see i was playing around with my sustem nad thought that i'd change the look,so i went to themexp.com and got some themes and installed them i decided that i'd change the icon too...

and here is where the trouble began..

i used iconphile(a program to change the icons of your desktop) to change the icons..but i think sopmeting went terribly terribly wrong 'cause soon i discovered that windows was using the icon that it uses for the unknown files for my drives ...then the mp3's,wma and many other icons changed too.They all look like the default for "unknown".

no matter what i did to change them back to default it just wouldn't work!!! nothing then iconphile started giving me errors...it crashed my system..i uninstalled the thing...i installed iconpackager to restore my icons but it wouldn't restore my drives' icons or the others thta iconphile messed up!!:yell :yell .

someone suggested that i used tweak ui(one of microsoft's powertoys)it messed up my icons even more no icons formy drives ,many other files AND now tweak ui has messed up my icons at i6 bit depth all look like crap:with noise,low quality..

this is really driving me nuts!!
:yell


*breaths deeply*

any way i was wondering if any of you guys could point me in the right dorection on how i can get my desktop back to the way it was...i'd be REALLY REALLY REALLY greatful.

thanks a ton
