for some odd unknown reason, every single one of my photoshop files has chosen to change it's icon to a random one from the default explorer set.
this is obviously wrong, and i am not sure how to fix it. I've restarted, and the problem continues.
could anyone who knows anything about it please help?
I'm worried it's a virus, and it is annoying, even if my file that contained a scanned-in phone booklet page humorously decided to display a phone icon...

I once had this back in the 98 days - if I had a load of windows open (talking 30+) it'd start to mix up icons as if I hit the overflow of some archaic integer somewhere.

I've seen this happen a few times over the years of using Windows. Normally, a restart resolves the issue.

I did have quite a few windows open, but I restarted my comp.
it stayed, but then for some reason when I exited windows live it got fixed...
(also, the icons were from windows live)

thanks, everyone for responding.

Yeah, the new Windows Live versions cause all sorts of problems.
To and fro, my sound dies, and doesn't come back until Live is closed.
