It means you might have a virus. It happened to a friend of mine before. I believe it was LoveLetter that did it. All of the mp3's were hidden, and the file was replaced with a copy of the virus with the same name of the mp3. So every time you went to play the song, oops! you just execute the virus again...

In your case, the icon is still a media icon, so its not LoveLetter (loveletter changed it to a script icon), but still could be the work of a crafty virus
well i have pretty good protection from viruses and im careful to what i download from the internet
so it kinda rules out that, but ill run a scan just in case.

come to think of it, i uninstalled stylexp. maybe that might of changed it.

[Edit] did a quick scan of my comp, no viruses. also reinstalled stylexp and reset the icons back to the windows default (even though they wernt changed in the first place) still no difference
