Windows 10: File icons changed and cant access settings

I updated my system recently and I've discovered two things:

1. The icons for file types like ZIP and ISO have changed and I want them how they were before
2. I can't open my settings at all; clicking the settings when searched for does nothing.

Does anyone have a solution to these problems?

Realmware BF4 Settings Editor.

Realmware BF4 Settings Editor 0.91

We have just released a hotfix for the preview version of our BF4 Settings Editor. As said in the posts above, DICE silently released a patch for the Battlefield 4 Beta, which changed the location of the settings files, breaking BF4 Settings Editor in the process. This hotfix resolves the issue, while also including a few other fixes and improvements. Be sure to update to the latest version!

Here is the full list of changes for this version.

Features:

• DICE silently released a patch which changed the location of the Battlefield 4 Beta settings files. BF4 Settings Editor now looks for the settings in the new location.
• Fixed a bug where changing the system tray icon options would not properly update the icon's visibility.

Desktop Icon Color Change - Accessibility Option


Hello tenforums, I hope you can help.

A friend of mine who recently upgraded to Windows 10 is legally blind and is struggling with some accessibility options. Here is what we are struggling with: We need to change the font color of desktop icons to black. Certain contrasts are more visible for some impairments and in this case, a yellow background with black bold icon text is the best condition.

What I've tried:

• Tried high contrast theme / mode
• Tried to modify regedit based on a suggestion for 8.1 here.

Where I've looked:

• Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Advanced - Performance
• Personalize - Change Desktop Icons
• Personalize - Colors
• Control Panel - Personalization
• Display Settings
• Themes - Theme Settings

I was able to get the text black when using the white high contrast mode, but that option won't work. While it does change the icon text to black, it also takes over many other options that deliver a less than desirable contrast for the user. We originally were thinking we could start with the high contrast theme, save as another theme and then systematically roll back the changes we didn't like, leaving the black text. Does not work - when in high contrast mode it effectively locks out your ability to make certain changes.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
