Windows 7 Desktop Icons altered with White Sub-icon
Hello,
All of sudden, most of the shortcut icons on my desktop have a white rectangle added to them with a small system icon in the middle of this white rectangle. Making a new shortcut still creates this "sub-icon". However, if I simply create a text document on the desktop it's ok. The weird thing is that some icons have this problem and some don't (e.g. folder shortcuts) - see screenshot below.
I have tried deleting the iconcache.db file and running a tweak called LnkFix, both to no avail. I also booted in Safe Mode and they are there too.
In desperation I did an 18 hour Acronis system restore to a few days ago when I don't recall having the problem. Still there!
Any help would be most welcome.
Kind regards
