                Hello! There is a file in your C:\windows folder (it's
usually there)called
                ShellIconCache which provides a quick place for Windows
to find your basic
                icons for screen redraws. Surprise, surprise: it gets
corrupted sometimes.
                To fix, delete ShellIconCache and reboot Windows: a new
file is created
                without the corruption. Hope this helps!
