Default Shortcut question

1- What is the white square on all my shortcuts & is there any way to
get rid of it ?(see xplorer jpg).


When Windows displays an icon for a shortcut, it draws the
application's icon, then draws a little arrow on top of it, in the
lower-left corner. It looks like the OS on your machine can't find
the little arrow and is putting a default image there instead. I've
never heard of that happening.

Maybe somebody here knows where that arrow normally lives and how to
get it back there.

Could you take a screen shot of a shortcut so I could see what it is
supposed tp look like ?
Thanks
