Restore the icon for cmd.exe and notepad.exe #17

The icon for cmd.exe and notepad.exe on the taskbar is replaced with the pyBingWallpaper. How to restore to the default icon?

I suspect it's a bug of Windows because pybingwallpaper does not change system icon. Seems Windows caches the icon of pybingwallpaper shortcut in start menu and mistakenly uses them for cmd.exe and notepad.exe. I'm trying to find a new way to build shortcuts. Before I figure it out, maybe you want to try remove the PyBingWallpaper folder from start menu then rebuild the icon cache by deleting C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\IconCache.db (in which Username should be replaced with your login name) and relogin.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
