So i just signed into my computer today, only to find out that most of my folders and files have a blank paper attached icon to them. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Solved by using winaero tweaker to disable the compressed overlay icon. ✔

Can you post a image of the icon? if you right click on the folder then properties is read only ticked?
Can you see the files and are they normal I wonder if its windows or ransomeware
It didn't solve it. It just messed up my folder view layout.

If you need to rebuild the Icon cache execute batch script attached to my post.
I suggest you go to some of the affected folders and try to copy in something innocuous such as a text file. You could even try right-clicking on the folders then selecting New, Text file. You should only need to invoke Admin permission in such folders as Program files not in your own Documents etc folders.
Post the results.
