I downloaded the latest version of CClean. However, it changed all the icon image to look like
An image from 'Shortcut icon change'. Icon of CCleaner forum shortcut on a computer desktop.
. How can I change them back to the default image?

I would try clearing your icon and thumbnail cache.

Open a Powershell prompt and run the following

Code:
Stop-Process -Name explorer
Remove-Item -Path "$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*.db" -Force
Remove-Item -Path "$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache*.db" -Force
Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
Get-ChildItem "$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer"
If CCleaner changed their icons you can't really change them easily.
 


I'm not talking about their icon, ever single one of my short cuts have changed. Also, new shortcuts have the CCleaner icon!!
