Windows Icons Problems + File Type Icons problem!?
I don't know what happened but majority of me icons (except softwares) have changed to you know, 'unknown file type' icons (The white paper with a window inside) So I went to Properties>Desktop>Customize Desktop and changed the icons there to default, that fixed the My computer, documents and recycle bin.
But how do I fix the others. My notepad files, Setups, Songs etc. Anyone know a solution? Thanks!

Sounds like your icon cache is corrupt.
Since you didn't tell us which OS you're using, I'm going to guess Vista / Windows 7, you can google "rebuild icon cache" if you have a different OS
1. Open Windows Explorer, and set your view to allow you to see hidden files -- Tools | Folder Options | View tab | check box to show Hidden / System Files | click [OK]
2. Browse to C:\Users\YOURUSERID\AppData\Local\ folder and delete IconCache.db file
3. Reboot.
This should rebuild a clean icon cache database file for you.
