Have you recently changed your Internet Service providor and configured the settings by running the supplied CD?
If so, these can change the icon UNDERNEATH the buttons of Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer to ones for the ISP. This is called "Branding", and it is usually reversible to the standard icon.

Sheesh, I don't know how many times I've had this happen. Microsoft is ALWAYS withdrawing articles! I guess I should always check the link after the comment has been entered, or else quote my database's contents of the defunct article...
Thanks, BillDL.

Unfortunately LeeTutor's link is now defunct :-(
"Restoring the MARLETT.TTF" font:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=134861 "
I think Microsoft KB and MSDN are total mess !
Couple days ago I was about to notify you, Lee Tutor, about broken links in your excellent tutotial pages .
I realised "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;130233" form of URL is rather a serach result page which is probably valid only for particular session .
URL syntax like this one " http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=134861 " is pointing to static pages.
If I had some time I would revise all hyperlinks and send you correct (static) links but I've been overloaded with duties at work last couple weeks and has a small surgery ( mole) on my back so I couldn't care less ;-)
keep on doing great job ,guys !

Hi, nedvis, I appreciate your info, but I'm not sure it is correct. My site, and my computerized data base of MSKB articles are all in the format I gave above, and almost all the time the links work. I tried modifying the link to the 130233 article as you describe (?kbid=130233), and I still get taken to this page where it says the Microsoft article is currently unavailable. I think that MS is just always withdrawing (at least temporarily) pages from their site when they want to revise the contents...
You're right : I did an experiment and ,yes, URL format:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;question#
is pointing to static page(s), so I was wrong :it's not search result URL format.
Anyway browser error says specifically "The Knowledge Base (KB) Article You Requested Is Currently Not Available".
Never mind when MS KB database is outdated or inaccurate .
I know how hard it may be to heal broken links and I appreciate the job you've done for all of us .
sincerely

Can you accept your own comment, Lee? It is well quoted as by far the most common cause for this precise problem, so I think you hit the nail on the head.
That sounds just fine to me, Lee. Thank you.
Thank you, LeeTutor and PAQ_Man
Is this the icon BELOW the "Close", "Minimize" and "Maximize" buttons, or is it the icon for actual BUTTONS themselves?
Is this definitely WINDOWS Explorer, or are you referring to INTERNET Explorer?
Do the buttons still work when you click them?
I am wondering if it is something like the effect when you use the "View > Full Screen" menu option in Internet Explorer, where the menu bar disappears and the area containing those 3 buttons goes black.
