Every folder I go into seems to have an icon
which looks like a notepad with a globe on it.
it is titled "folder" size 14.3 KB.

It is in every folder i open or have been to. What is it? and can i get rid of these?

Tweak UI has a fix icons feature.

You could also try deleting ShellIconCache, which will be rebuilt.

jj,

First, 'folder.htt', is a windows file. But, you are saying it's in every folder.

Do you have any virus detection software installed, and is it updated? If you don't, run an online virus scan, and see if it detects anything.

Just an opinion.
Good Luck

I've been Googling and read there is a virus which infects folder.htt and desktop .ini

Dick,

Hmmm, you don't say ;-) And what is "sedagive"? All in fun, Dick.

JJ,

Here are two places, for an online scan.

TrendMicro

PandaSoftware

Again, Good Luck.
:-)
