  1. Why replacing a file name resulted in changing its icon?


    Hi there. I recently replaced a file name with "another one's" in the same folder and suddenly its icon view changed to "another one's". I bringed up properties of file, the icon showed there was OK, but in main window of windows it's the same as I told. I don't want to know why this happened, I just want to know if there is any way to solving this problem except renaming folder?!Thanks in advance.

    :)
