Okay, I'm still not at my computer and i just can't remember the exact layout of the configurations but if you go to Preferences/Folders in Sonar, there will be file paths for different system folders. You want to make sure the icon folder, and its contents, are still intact...

The problem is, everyone has a different configuration so there is really no correct location I can give you. For example, on my installation, I placed the Cakewalk Contents in a separate partition on my System Drive. But...in Sonar Preferences, I'm pretty sure there is a pointer for the Icons Folder that needs to be pointed to the Icon Folder.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I can't remember...and I am away from my computer... I know their is an assignable path for the Pictures Cache, as well, which you can delete, which will force Sonar to create a new folder, in the event it is corrupt....

Thanks Musicman762. Everyone has been extremely helpful on here and not made me feel like a dummy. Started out recording on a Fostex reel to reel years ago, moved to a 4 track, then in the 90s to stand alone digital recorder. Had Sonar since last February and I keep learning more and more.
But this *%# track icon thing has me all kinds of frustrated. Those help visually when you bounce tracks (with plugins) and the archive the original tracks.

Ok, after all that - it was a simple fix. I went to the top of the Sonar window where it has File, Edit, Views. Clicked on Views - went to the bottom of the popup menu and it says Icons. Clicked on that - then Show Icons and clicked Track View, then clicked on Show Icons and did the same for Console view. So, I know how to create real sounding vocal harmonies in Melodyne, bounce to tracks, mixdown, how to set up Track Templates, set up AD2 on separate tracks and tons of other things, and get stuck on a rookie mistake like showing track icons. Feeling pretty stupid right now!

Yep! It happens. Someone suggested that earlier...
