Windows 10: Windows Explorer taskbar icon has changed to a blue down arrow???

After restarting my PC a few days ago, I noticed something strange. When I opened a couple of explorer windows, they weren't attached to the explorer icon I have pinned on my taskbar. They were attached to a brand new icon, a single blue arrow pointing down. How do I get rid of this stupid blue arrow and get explorer attached to the default icon again? <I tried uploading a screenshot but the stupid site failed to upload. Just picture a large blue arrow pointing down>

Extra File explorer icon in Taskbar

Thanks. I cannot find Start Menu - Windows System - All Apps list. the closest I can find is this.





The start menu does not have File explorer or All apps listed. This





is the situation I described above. The red arrow shows the pinned icon and the blue arrow shows the one that starts when I select the pinned icon.

 

NIGHTMARE icon in windows taskbar

Ok ... this is really an annoying thingy in Windows Vista that till today. My top wish list is to solve this !!! *Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:*Bang Head :banghead:

See attached pic ... for eg. open My Computer ... icon is of course as shown - the My Computer default Vista icon ... after you browse? *swoosh* kind of black magic ... it changes to that icon with the green arrow ... browsing back to My Computer it remains like that ... with the green arrow!!!

This happens to any and all folders ! ... When you load it ... it comes up with the default folder ... after exporing through folder it changes ... and remains like that.

For info : have tried a fresh installation of Vista to make sure that no bug got in. So must be some DAMN Vista settings

Thanks mates ... hope you enjoy this puzzle !
