I am not sure how to fix this Issue and its getting really annoying. Thanks.

hi Grommett and welcome to sevenforums,

my explorer icon has always looked like that!

what did yours used to look like?

Hi Grommett.
This is default icon for windows explorer in Win 7

Yes that is an awful looking blue line there.

As has been said this is the new default icon for the explorer in Windows 7
However, it is not fixed and can be easily changed

Right click on the taskbar icon to show the jumplist.
right click on the Windows Explorer entry on the jumplist.
Select the Change Icon option from the presented dialog.
Browse to an .Ico or suitable .dll file and select an icon.

Ok out of the dialog to set the icon

It may take a reboot or log off to get the change to take but I assure you It does work



None of these icons are original other than the bin and start button

Thankyou Barman58, It worked well, I noticed that when I pinned Explorer, Then Unpinned the Icon would Change. See for Yourself, I Used an Awful Blue Line because of that Exact Reason It is Noticeable. Thanks Again Guys.
