[Paint update changes icons of other programs]

Its an anomaly that I've seen before but I would not associate that with Paint.NET.  Malware could be something to blame or a faulty Registry key. It can also happen to other programs and make their icons be uniform on all other icons on the Desktop. This video shows a fix for that. Or you can also use System Restore to a date prior to the PDN auto-update and just manually download and install a standalone installer of PDN from the official PDN site.

thank you for the video...

I'm on Windows 10/64

I right click on the icon / properties / and the "change icon"
button is greyed out.. 

I've googled an answer to this and no answers...

I think that I may finally have fixed it (uninstalling
and reinstalling Evernote didn't fix the icon issue)

I copied the correct icon from another location on
my computer and just pasted it into the folders
I keep these programs in and deleted the paint.net

icon... so far, seems to be working

 

thank you all for your help

Hi 

 

Using Windows 10 and there is no option to change icon ;(

 

I've not found anything current that tells me how to change

the icon back.

the two programs that are currently affected are Evernote
and Nitro Pro 8

 

thanks

When you say paint, you mean paint.net and not microsoft paint, right?

 

In any case, you need to right-click the program file. Go to properties. When it opens, there's a button that says "change icon". You can change the icon back to the original one by browsing for the program's location and using that program's icon, since every program has a default icon associated with it.

 

If it doesn't work, you can try searching Google for something like "windows 7 change file icon".

I didn't pay attention to the update of Paint on

two of my computers... and, have recently noticed that
the icons of a few different programs now shows up as

the Paint icon.

CAn anyone tell me how to change the icons back?

thank you for your assistance

Hi Fellow Arkansan

[How do I make a matte image appear glossy?]

I have a logo that appears to be matte finish.

Is there a way to make it appear glossy?

Is there a plugin that will achieve that effect?

Thanks Karen
