Whoever made the decision to modify the Icons in Vista didn't do a very good
job. All of the Vista Icons are very hard to see and they are completely
different than they used to be in Window 98 and XP. Those Icons were easy to
see and identify and they were consistent from one operating system to the
next, as well as from one Application to another. I am now the proud owner
of a desktop and all other locations where Icons were a big help in
identifying what type of file one was using or looking for and now it is
impossible to tell one from the other. On top of that the Contrast of the
new designs for things like folders are lousy. I want my old folder Icons
back, as well as all of my other Icons.

I tried to change an Icon the other day, and the selection of icons given
was not acceptable.

What happened to the idea of "User Friendly" in computers? Stop changing
things foe the sake of change. I've been using computers since they first
started being used and every so-called advance takes us a step backwards for
some reason.

How do I get all of my old icons back? What is the "Simple Solution?" I
don't like or want Microsoft's new icons.

Sincerely,

I pick 'classic view' whenever possible, it isn't perfect, but better than
the default by a mile.

It is much better in Vista. You will have to makes some adjustments to see.
