restore icons

Question

for my interest i installed icon pack on windows 8.1. But I didn't like it. That's why I uninstalled the icon pack.

But after I uninstalled the icon pack, all file folders including Windows, Program Files (x86), Users, etc. became blank. There's no way I could get those old yellow folder icons back.

question: how can i fix this

Thank you in advance
