They all work and are white and ugly,
TF2 avast counter strike, counterstrike condition zero,firefox, CIV V, windows word,roblox, and true image are the only ones that work.
I have a recent file backup the day before this happened, should I use it or fix my own promblems?

Try rebuilding icon cache using cmd method:
Launch CMD and type each line separately


taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F

DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A

shutdown /r /f /t 00
