Maybe it was unnecessary and uncalled for, but your suggestion of reinstalling Windows was also unnecessary. In 99,999999999999% of all problems reinstalling Windows is never a true solution. It is suggested by people who don't know the real issue or how to solve something in the proper way
(sorry for the, again, rude talk maybe; it isn't meant personally. But lately I've seen more than enough "reinstall windows" suggestions)
Apology accepted

An icon (and certainly those associated with many Windows files and programs) actually can contain multiple icons of different sizes and color depths. Windows will always automatically choose the icon which fits the current used display settings.
People who report that their icons didn't change (as in: it is still a house that is displaying, not a cat), but that they seem a bit strange, pixelated, or full of 'random' pixels (thus appearance of the house has been changed) have often adjusted their display settings (by accident) or have used a program which altered the color depth... This is the number one problem in icon troubles.
I know what you are referring to (I have done icon design), but what you are explaining isn't what I meant.
Reaper's problem is now solved, and it was the wrong icons that were configured by some cause.
I was trying to explain that it was possible that the correct configuration was present, but the referenced icon wasn't the expected icon. This can be compared to a desktop wallpaper being set to an image, but then that wallpaper image being edited or replaced with another, and reconfiguring the same image as wallpaper will simply apply the modified image, not that which was originally set.
