    Okay as ridiculous as this might sound, I have a billiard ball for my "System and Security" item in Control Panel. See attached photo:

    I think this is the icon for Backspin Billiards. Lol. Hm. Anyway, does anybody know how to get the normal icons back? Thanks in advance guys. :D

    1.) Win + R
    2.) "cmd.exe"
    3.) "cd %userprofile%\AppData\Local"
    4.) "del IconCache.db"
    5.) "exit"
    6.) Reboot

    Should do the trick. (Don't type the quotes.)

    Wow. It did the trick. It didn't let me do it through the command prompt though--says it can't find it, but I deleted it manually.

    Thanks so much! :D
