1.Try Unlocker:UNLOCKER 1.8.7 BY CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB
2.It could be also some kind of NameSpace object:

Navigate to keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

and check all their subkeys.If you find some subkey which concern this problematic icon - remove it
