    I'm on Windows 10 and I accidentally changed the associated "open with" app for .blend files so now I have it set to the Blender icon. I'd like to be able to change it back to this icon. Does anyone know how I can do this?

    :)

    How to get back default icons?

    Shortcut Arrow - Change, Remove, or Restore

    Try downloading the zip file provided there. You can follow the instruction to remove the little folder on your shortcuts, but then of course you won't know what icons are shortcuts, and which are real files. The part you probably want, is the reg file to restore the default arrow, apply that, and it should change them back to the regular arrows.

    Now, as for the folder icon:
    Right-Click the Folder > Properties > Go to Customize Tab > Click the Restore Default Button > Finally, Click the Apply Button...

    Unfortunately, you will have to do this with every folder, I don't know of a way to do it to all folders at once.

  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.
