Thanks, I'll check, but this is a fresh install from the 3.2 CD. I haven't overwritten anything as far as I know, but I did ask it not to install NewIcons.
After your post, I read this:
"NewIcons also includes DefIcons, a package of ready-made icons which aims to provide a default icon image for all files that do not have their own associated icons"
So it sounds like DefIcons is part of NewIcons. I don't like the new icons so hopefully I can use deficons without the newicons.
