Can you attach a picture showing exactly what icons you're referring to? You can do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Advanced' posting menu. Also, can you tell us if you have a third-party app installed that does backups and the like, just in case that's modifying the icons (some do so to give you a visual indication of which files have/haven't been backed up).
