As a follow-up I deleted the file and it did not fix my problem.  :(   It did
give me some ideas.  I have found that the discolored icons are the ones that
are short-cuts and file icons.

Where are they stored?  Things like the two computers and a phone icon or the
Real Player icon.  When I do a properties on the short-cut desktop icon and do
a change icon they all appear there for me to choose.  If I choose a new icon
it still comes up trashed.  Where are those icons stored?  I think they are all
trashed.
Have you tried Tweak UI? I find it repairs all my various and constant icon problems quite well.
