=================================
Just wondering...did you install Windows XP
*over* a previous operating system?

Maybe if you download and install TweakUI
it will repair your icons for you.

Windows XP PowerToys / free download
http://tinyurl.com/36n

Once installed...open the Program and go to...
Repair / Rebuild Icons / Repair Now.
