Hi everyone. I have a wierd little problem with icons randomly changing. For example when i install a game, the shortcut to the game on the desktop is normal right after installation but a while after it changed to another icon (a random windows icon) for no reason and it dosen't go back. I tried deleting the hidden desktop.ini file and it didn't work. I searched all around the web and couldn't find so much... Can anyone please help me resolving this issue?

Thanks!
