Description MackSix 2013-09-09 22:10:58 UTC 
This started recently when I started using the C/C++ module. Sometimes when adding a new build tool or browsing system files through the C/C+++ panel in Options, folder icons will change from regular Windows folders to folders with a little person in the folder. Once it changes, the folders have the little person in them through all access to system file in NetBeans. 

Restarting NetBeans makes the folders appear normal, but browsing through the C/C++ panel again can change them to the folder with the little person in them.

See attached screenshots

Usually this occurs when:

1. Start NetBeans and go to Tools >> Options >> C/C++ and activate C/C++ and then browse for a new tool set. 

or

2. Start NetBeans and go to Tools >> Options >> C/C++ and browse for a new tools set.

It doesn't do it every time, but it does it frequently. It may be more likely to occur using #1.

This is a system dialog.
Windows adds icons.
