    Messed up windows 7 icons


    I installed a Windows 8 Transformation pack on my Windows 7 laptop. I decided it didn't look to great so I reverted back from a previous restore point I created. However the default folder icon did not revert back to default after the restore.

    How do I fix these issues?!? They're driving me nuts!
