    Suggestions :

    1) If you did not wait too long to ask this question, please do a system restore. Pick a date you did NOT have this problem as your restore point.
    System Restore

    2) Rebuild your icons cache. Yours might be corrupted.

    If you read the first paragraph......

    If one or more of your icons are not displaying correctly, or that your icon cache is corrupted, then you might consider rebuilding the icon cache to reset and reload the icon images into the icon cache.

    Nothing is guaranteed.
    Try the method, if it does not work, that's the end of it. No harm or damage will be done because of that.

    I think his arrow has been replaced with that exe icon.
    If the restore fails to do the job, he could use the famous overlay remover to set it to blank or replace it with an arrow again.

    Sorry it is called Vista indeed, because it was made for Vista. But it works very well on Windows 7 like the majority of the softwares written for Vista.
    Don't worry about that you have 64-bit, the icons are the same.
    Here is a screenshot of my desktop, and the proof that it actually works on win 7:
