  1. Folder Icon color, Desktop Icons have paper overlay


    I Have been having two problems and they appear to be related.
    1. My Desktop Icons have what looks like a piece of paper on them. Not all but most. Seems like Shortcuts for .exe files don't have the paper.
    2. My Folders in File Manager have lost the yellow color that they had. They are now white, look just like the Files.
    I was given a file "Rebuid_icon_Cache.bat" from a Forum member.This works, but the problems come back after a Refresh of theDesktop, or after some time
    If I run "Rebuid_icon_Cache.bat" again the problems aregone again. I need to have this go away completely. Would a reinstall of Win 10 correct it?

    Unknown icon overlay on Windows 10 desktop icons

    My Windows 10 desktop icons sport an unknown icon overlay. Here's a screen shot of it which suggest a couple of stick people. The check mark on a green disk is OneDrive sync and is OK. Next to that is what appears to be a stick people couple.

    The overlay only appears on the actual Desktop icons and not in the Desktop folder view.

    Do you know what that stick couple overlay represents?

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Weird desktop icon behaviour on Steam

    Yes, they are; however, when I right click on the "blue sphere" icon to change it and browse to the corresponding folder inside the Steam folder, it lets me go through all the steps, but the blue sphere remains. *Confused Folder Icon color, Desktop Icons have paper overlay :confused:
