I downloaded the latest version of CClean. However, it changed all the icon image to look like . 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"
I'm not talking about their icon, ever single one of my short cuts have changed. Also, new shortcuts have the CCleaner icon!!
