    Hi

    Could be that the iconcache is corrupted from an application, could try a repair of the iconcache with TweakUI and click the repair option at bottom and choose from dropdown Rebuild Icons ( NOTE its likely to rearrange your desktop icons if you have them set in a particular order)

    or delete the iconcache file from here %homepath%\Local Settings\Application Data and called IconCache.db but its a hidden file so in Folder Options unhide hidden files and system files.

    Have you rebooted yet? This happened to me a few weeks ago after doing several Anti-malware scans in a row back-to-back. I was concerned but after rebooting all was back to the norm.
    You might wait to see what the pros say more. Yeah, I'm playing it safe ;)
