Choose `Cache Cleaning' and then `Light Cleaning' but check all three check boxes (Clean Local Cache, Clean System Cache, Clean All Users Caches). You'll have to reboot. After rebooting first open TeXShop and create a new document on your Desktop; it should have the new icon. Then open the folder(s) with your other tex documents and all should be well.

Howdy,

Did you try to select one of your .tex documents, do a Get Info…, select a different app to open the document and then open all documents like this, reselect the document and do the reverse?

If that doesn't work try Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner! NOTE: in spite of its name it is supposed to work with Tiger and later. Just a bad choice of naming. See <http://www.northernsoftworks.com/mountainlioncachecleaner.html> for more complete information.

Good Luck,
