Windows 10: Changing the folder icon to Classic Windows Folder icon on Windows 10

I want to continue to use what I believe Microsft called Classic Windows Folder icon for data folders.

It's the plain rectangular manila folder with the label tab in the upper left- or right-hand corner.

I have had Win 10 64bit for several years and just noticed yesterday that all my data folder icons had changed to one that has rotated 90 deg, with the tab now in the lower right corner.

I scrounged through the 100's of available folder icon choices, but the "Classic Windows" icon was no longer a choice.

How hard could it have been to leave that "old" choice as an option?


CAN I GET BACK THE WINDOWS CLASSIC FOLDER ICON?


IF NOT:

About when was this change made?


Add my name to the many others who have complained about the newest "default" icon and it's other faults.

What benefit did any of the bazillion Windows get from this (unsolicited) change?

or was Microsoft the only beneficiary?

Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
Some people have this and some don't.
