folders changed

alliyo

hello,
some of my folders, recycle bin, my docs etc have changed their appearance! I did put something on my pc and i think it is since then they have changed, or maybe a coincidence.
doesnt seem to have affected in any other way and i have done a complete scan and found nothing.
the problem is
a, how do i change folders back to original appearance
b, i cant remember what or where the thing is that i added!
thanks for any advice

Try F5 or reboot

for instance the - my computer - one instead of being a pic of a computer it is white paper background with the windows display on it? and same with the others, my pics, my photos loadsa stuff?
tried the reboot but stays the same

i think that means you no longer have the suitable programme to run that type of file although i'm not 100%
