    Invisible Folder Icons

    For some reason, some of my icons are just straight up invisible. Not even showing the default white paper icon, just invisible.


    I can't see the folder icons, only their names. In addition, all files are invisible, only... 2323a56e-a9eb-481a-b7e3-c4fa6ef4685b?upload=true.png


    (The first file is a folder and the other is an access database)
    These two are on my desktop and no matter what I do they just stay invisible, even if I try to customize the folder icon.
    I tried:

    -Clearing my Icon Cache
    -Restarting File Explorer through task manager
    -Restarted my PC a couple of times
    and so on.

    Any idea how to fix this?

    List file names than a folder.

    Is there a bat file to generate the list of file names that I have inside a folder?
    If possible you can help me to do it or give me suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    Please.

    Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

    Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

    I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

    Thanks, again.
