    Folder problem


    I have a problem...I messed with some settings a long time ago and messed this up, and now I'd like to know how to change it back.

    All of my folders have this picture displayed inside the folder, instead of displaying the contents of the folder like it normally should.

    How do I change that back?... I don't know what setting I changed.

    Sure, no problem. Right-click on the folder, and hit Properties. In the Customize tab, click Restore Default.

    I tried that before posting, it didn't work, I tried it on several different folders but none of them went back to normal.

    Try opening an elevated command prompt and running sfc /scannow.

I can't seem to create any new folders anymore. I right click on the desktop and go to New>Folder, and all I end up with is a blank paper icon. Please help. This is so frustrating.

I don't know what happened but it seems like after i followed the guys advice on how to fix my desktop icons, this thing happened overnight after i turned the computer on. Is there anyway i can fix this back to normal? I already did the system restore and it's still the same.
