hey the only thing now is my desktop icon is just a generic white icon any idea what that could be about?

Ack! I have not seen that issue before. After the next occasion you close LW down, re-run the LW-Java shortcut installer. Hopefully that will fix it. Or a reboot after using it but hopefully that should not be necessary. The change should be immediate. It is also possible to uninstall the shortcuts via the Add/Remove programs Control Panel, perhaps try reinstalling it after that. (The LW-Java shortcut uninstall listing will be listed beside LW in the control panel.)

Hopefully this is a one off issue. ie: the system might not have updated its icons properly which is why I hinted at a reboot. Actually I have seen that happen before but not with this installer.

Maybe if you uninstall that version of LimeStart and install the latest version of LimeStart, hopefully that problem will not re-occur. I found out days ago that I had included a shortcut function that was not only unnecessary but also caused an icon issue. It has since been removed from the installer. Someone else recently told me about an inactive shortcut. But I have not heard back from them yet as to whether my change fixed it or not.
