There is a file on your desktop which you wrongly changed its property to a vlc file, but it is not.

Right click on everyone of them, check it's properties and select in d dialogue box that which best describes the icon

once had this problem. tried many solutions I found online but none worked for me tho some folks said it helped them. I eventually had to create another user account on my PC and made it the administrator. everything works fine now. can't find the sites I found those solutions but u can get there tru Google. creating another user profile should be last resort.

Go to open with, and open each files with the appropriate softwares as defaults..... My roommate's system once had such problem, but can't just remember vividly if that's the step i used in fixing it for him then. But it was fixed within short period
