Why my desktop icons on Windows 7 are same?

The original Icons on my desktop all have changed and now are all the same, but the program names are the original. When I click on any program I want to open they all open the same program as the Icon shows. How can I get the original Icons Back?

My operating system is Windows 7 Home edition.

Try a reboot or system restore. Failing that try to scan for malware.

I have Flash Player installed on my Win7 machine, latest version. Every time I attempt to open a video that depends on Flash I get inundated with the warning that I need to upgrade Flash to the latest version, no matter how many times I do so.
How to stop this irritation? How to get Flash to work the way its supposed to? I have totally uninstalled it via REVO, reinstalled it but same results.

I am able to see the absolute (exact) time on Win-XP of a file when it was last modified in hours, minutes, and seconds ("Today, May 11, 2014, 6:06:09 AM") by displaying the file properties.

On Windows 7, it displays the time as relative and a rough estimate ("Today, May 11, 2014, 2 hours ago"). How do I change it so it displays absolute time like Windows XP.
