Video thumbnails showing non media player icons.
Every once in awhile my video thumbnails icon changes. I'm talking about the icon in the lower right hand corner telling you what media player it is associated with. Like sometimes it will change to an icon i use for folders. Or like now it has the fax machine icon on it. If i click on it it will still open and play it in WMP. I'll will have to go in there and right click on a file choose open with and then make it default. But then a little while later the icon will change. It does this for all video types mpg avi mkv mp4 webm. But right now it's only doing it to avi's and mkv's.
I rebuilt my icon file data base using the guide on here. And it's still doing it. I went as far as reinstalling windows and after a few months it starts doing it again. I scanned for viruses and malware and my pc came back spotless. So does anyone have an idea while it's doing this? My up to date PC specs are down below.
