    I messed up with icon files and now the deafult folder icon changed to something I don't want


    I've been trying to change the deafult folder into something else, a .ico file. I followedthis tutorial and now even the "new folder" button looks like this and every new folder I make looks like that, a blank sheet instead of a folder. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? How do I change the deafult folder icon? I do know how to individually change them.
