Never seen such a thing before. Try re-setting the icon! Right Click Properties>Change Icon>Hit the same .exe pre-selected and see if you can find the original icon there.

As shown on the image, copy-past target and remove "" into search option of change icon, hit Enter and you shall find the icon.

That's false on many levels :lol:, I had to re-organize icons a few times because playing old games with lower resolution would just bug the desktop some times! Can be made possible with any virus also.

@afmatt Those can be found on default search option.. Which is: %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll

When I refresh, I see Disc C: Icon doing that but just for a millisecond

A .dll is essentially just a collection.

Right click on your icon, click "change icon," and enter "%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll" as the location.

This should then give you a list of multiple icon images which are stored within the shell32.dll file, and you can select which icon image you want to use.

Right click, go to properties, go to the "customize" tab, then click restore default in the "Folder Image" section.

Re-install/Update your graphics drivers. If it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt to do 'sfc /scannow' and 'chkdsk C: /F'

GeForce Experience is only for users with Nvidia card. And there is no such thing as "format PC to one week earlier". It's called system restore, but does not always fix the issue. Depending on when the issue started, it may help (that is, if there is a restore point available).

It was a long time ago when I installed winamp
Its been on my PC for years now
is it causing the problem?
or is it because of the "FL Studio 12" I just installed?
