Application showing wrong icon in launchpad

I just tried to re-arrange my launch pad icons (having read these forums searching an answer for my issue, i now realise this is pointless since Launchpad will move them back).


However, Google Chrome now has the Skype Icon. Skype now has the Spotify icon etc...


How do i change them back?


Thanks.

Open Terminal (Applications / Utilities / Terminal.app), then copy & paste (do not attempt to type) the following command (it's all one line) into the Terminal window:


rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db; killall Dock


Then press 'return' on your keyboard. You will see the Dock disappear for a second or two then return. Check Launchpad. Problem solved?
