Thanks for the screenshot aliwihbi
The brown folder icons are not coming from Dropbox, but a 3rd party app that's running on your computer.
Can you send us a screenshot of what you see in the reg-edit?
Also, if you're indeed running 3rd party apps that are monitoring, syncing or backing up your files, have you tried closing them one by one to see if it makes any difference?
