Hey all,
First time poster here. Thanks for having me. I am hoping to start off by explaining how I have royally displeased myself by accidentally changing all my .exe files to the same icon in FilesTypeManager.
I was able to easily change most of my other folder icons and other computer folders etc but changing .exe was proving beyond my current skillset. Non the less; like a kid taking apart his first bike, I attempted the task.
As a result, now all of my .exe files have become a figure of a beer bong when I just wanted to change that one program that was annoying me on my desktop - can't even remember what it was now because this issue has now become priority.
I attempted a system restore but the problem went away for a few minutes and then came back mysteriously.
I'm running windows 10.
If anyone is able to help guide me on steps to restore the original icons for all my exe files that would be so kind. Extra kudos if you can explain how to change a single .exe icon in window 10.
Thank you all.
