    I just followed Walter's steps.  One Drive was showing as the first 10 entries in the registry followed by Dropbox. I switched it up so that Dropbox shows as the first 10 entries. I rebooted by PC and now everything is back to normal. Yes, I now have the green icons back, next to each file and folder. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for checking skverskk.

Have you tried the steps -about the 15 icons- that my colleague, Walter mentioned in this thread, by any chance?
