You seem to have a heavily modded system no clue what could be causing that icon to not show correctly.

Remove and reapply all of your desktop/theme modifications. I had the same problem after my video driver crashed about 50 times in a row, and my card died.

If you are using Rainmeter, make sure you don't hav anything that is conflicting with your desktop icons. It has happened to me before.

Does the problem still occur if you disable Rainmeter?

in the list of shells is there something not belonging there because the 1st time in happened was because of some app that could put album art on my music collection and after my trial was finish uninstalled it and it was long time ago i cant use a restore point anymore 

[Mr. Chairman]

I hava a question and possible answer to your question.

First mine: what is that little thing on right side of your screen that says "System" and looks like a bunch of cool stats?

 

Now to your problem. This looks like Stardock modified system. Is it?

If you're running Icon Packager try restoring to defaut that specific icon. I know it has that option. Your second shot is reinstalling whatever program is responsible for your icons.

This issue has nothing to do with your GPU, it's simply impossible. It'a a software problem. What icon is that anyway? Maybe try to reinstall that program...

Oh, I see from that screenshot it's Icon Packager. good, I use it too, never had problems. BTW for tagging music i recommend MP3Tag:http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html

[OddlyShapedTree]

Hmm. I don't then right now. If I think of something I will let you know. Good luck.

Check the folder properties, then the permission's - make sure none of that has been messed up.

 

I have also seen some maleware play with settings like that. Try running Malewarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Eset online scanner, etc.
