What is the significance of the different look of icons of html files in
folder view? A little explanation... I started revamping my website and I'm
noticing that pages I've worked on have changed to have a little icon that
looks like an Internet Explorer icon. That is, a page with a "e" on it.
Pages that I've edited in the past all look like a little page with what
looks like an arrow in the upper left corner, pointing to the Northwest
(Redmond? :)).

It's handy because I know what I've worked on recently, but I'm curious if
this is why they're changing and that was the intent? What happens when
they all have changed to an "e" and I start editing again? Will they then
begin to change back to the arrow icon?
 
Sounds more like a corrupt ShellIconCache file. ( Shell Icon Cache )

2 options:
1. go To My Computer> Control Panel and open Tweak UI, click the Repair tab and select
"Rebuild Icons"

2. If you don't have Tweak UI, delete the ShellIconCache file and then restart the computer.
ShellIconCache is a hidden file that lives in C:\Windows
