    hey master353 i have never experience what you describe, but i found some information that might be useful.

    delete the file IconCache.db and restart windows. upon next start-up, windows should automatically recreate a new IconCache and should in theory rebult the icons as per default.

    for reference, here is the website I got the information from
    http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0806/39l06/39l06.asp

    hope this works for you.
