Hi I am referring to the Kindle for pc.

The blue icon you see in the
Kindle for PC window is put there by the Kindle for PC program. Another program might use a green icon for AZW3 files represented in
its window.
Windows Explorer is just another program, it will use the icon of the program that has been configured as the Default program to open a given file type, on your system there is no Default program defined for AZW3 files, hence the blank icon in Windows explorer. That doesn't matter, the file name and extension is what matters, the icon is mere decoration.

You must think I am really thick lol. I know this about pdfs word docs mp3s etc that the program that opens them has its own icon.
But thought for some reason kindle files stayed blue. I don't understand why they will not open though when they are not.

Not at all, I never assume people are thick. I just assume they don't know how the operating system, the file system, and application programs interoperate.
If you want AZW3 files to open with Kindle for PC, right click an AZW3 and select Open, Windows Explorer will then allow you to browse to the Kindle for PC program, it may be in some obscure non standard location - IIRC their Previewer gets buried in %appdata%.
Or maybe the program has a setting to associate itself with Kindle file types.
Perhaps someone who uses Kindle for PC can better advise.
