I'm Muhammad Abdullah and I'm excited to help you change the icon on your MP4 files in File Explorer back to an orange cone. I have 5 years of experience specifically in providing dedicated assistance for both Linux and Windows systems, which makes me uniquely qualified to help you with this issue. I understand that there are a number of steps involved in changing it back, so I would like to discuss each one individually. First off, you will need to access the File Explorer icon settings section in order to change the icon back to an orange cone. From there, you will need to wait for the changes to take effect before you can move on to the next step. After that is done, you can go back into the icon settings section and choose a new icon for your MP4 files - one that better fits with your color scheme and preferences. Last but not least, you will need to go into the File Explorer system settings section and adjust the time zone accordingly so it matches your location exactly. With all of that taken care of, I'm confident that I can resolve this issue for you quickly and efficiently. Not only do I have extensive knowledge in system administration and technical support related tasks, but I also have experience working with

Hello there, it's a normal behavior if you set VLC as the default MP4 player. You can change it back in as little as 4 steps.

Hi there, I'm Nikola and I'm interested to solve this for you. Usually, it takes a few (4-5 steps) to change the default icon. Just need to select any MP4 file, go to its Properties and change the default app to run the file, which will in-turn change its icon.
