Hello ChumChum

First, try removing the Shorcut arrow with this and restart.

If that doesn't help, restore your Icon Cache

Tried the Shortcut arrow or rebuild Icon Cache? Try rebuilding it once more if not, try removing arrow.

I tried both, i tried the removing arrow twice, thats how the ugly icons came, by the icon cache.
I did the removing arrow when my first computer started, same problem with ugly icons.
I fixed it somehow but i forgot.
When i installed XWindows dock that how the ugly icons became for the shortcuts.
When i did Icon Cache thats how the ugly arrows came.
I tried Restoring but didnt work.

Try an SFC Scan:

It is the shortcut arrow overlay that has become corrupt. If using the links posted above doesn't fix it for you try a system restore to before the issue occurred - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html

Chum Chum ,When you say "tried restoring" do you mean a "system restore" or did you just try restoring the icons ? you may want to try a repair install http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html doing this you will not loose any files

For the Repair installer i didnt understand a thing, but ill try.
And i already did a system restore.
EDIT: Im just worried cuz he said disable firewall and anti-virus

EDIT 2: Im soo scared, is their an easier way?
This is a big risk for me.
Never done something like this, I just want the icons and shortctus removed
