Hi Eileen,

This problem is caused by a corrupt IconCache file.
You're a bit shy on details though - there are at a minimum 100 
Operating Systems and the same for media players.
But let's say you use the most dominant OS on the market,which is XP , 
you can use the following info:

Delete the hidden file ShellIconCache
It will return and rebuild next time you boot-up.

Note: in WinXP each user has their own file that is called Iconcache.db:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application 
Data\Iconcache.db

You can also use TweakUI for XP   (147 KB )  and install
 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Here's what the icon repair section looks like

Use "Rebuild icons".

> All my icons go to media player.  I would like to get them back to normal so I can play my games and look up my documents.  Can someone tell me what to do to get my default icons back?  I even tried system restore but that also goes to media player.
