I cannot get rid of black boxes replacing folder icons in windows explorer
and also have overlaying black boxes on part of the icon on my desktop. What
can I do to get rid of these black boxes and get the original icons restored.
Rebooting has not helped or changing Display settings.
Thank you,

What did you install to remove the shortcut arrows?

Michael,
I did not install anything. What happened was I was using Remote Desktop
and when I came back to my PC and logged back in, the whole screen was black
and could see nothing. I had to log off, then reboot and after the reboot, I
have three icons on my desktop with black boxes on them. I tried to replace
the icon, but did not work. I also go into Windows Explorer and all my
folder icons are black boxes, not folders. I have rebooted and have also
tried changing display settings to no avail.
 
I don't know, sorry. Use a System Restore point before you
used Remote Desktop.
