Did Win11 break everything it could? No wonder no one wants it. :(

Or icons 30-32 in the x2 resources. It's the same one Explorer uses for "Quick Access". We just don't know why it's wantonly attacking my folders (and apparently only mine?) with wild aplomb. :shrug:

hi, I'm sure you checked if a the reg.entry like: (shell icons) exists. --> i.e. :

"Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell icons"

If exists and contains named entries like aspecific number, type, pathtoicons i.e.

"3 REG_SZ pathtonewfoldericons" (your wanted folder icon symbol)
or as I remember for removing overlays i.e. UAC or link-arrow e.g [77 REG_SZ c:\windows\blank.ico , 0] and
shortcut-overlay was [29 REG_SZ c:\windows\blank.ico} BLANK.ICO == clean-and-sober.ico

you may test to "reset" those i.e. save reg-entry "Shell Icons" to a backup.reg and delete then this entry.
Restart explorer.

P.S. think also if exists :: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile = Windows-Links
and Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile = old_dos-links
and also ?? ... deleting (hidden) %localappdata%\iconCache.db --> restart

b.r.
Here my experience with "BlueStar" effects -
- after installing "new" v6.20 and
- getting it "repaired" by deleting the "\iconCache.db"
