Delete the shelliconcache file from Safe Mode, per the instructions here:
Icons Displayed Incorrectly in Control Panel:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=133733
Or,
Click Start>Settings> Control Panel> Display> Appearance tab:
Click the "Item:" drop-down list and select "Icon"
Note the current icon size in the "Size:" box next to that.
Change the size, click Apply.
Change the size back to what it was, click OK.
Or,
If you have TweakUI installed, click Start> Settings> Control Panel> TweakUI>
"Repair" tab, select "Rebuild Icons" and click Repair Now.
Download and install TweakUI1.33:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/powertoys/networking/nttweakui.asp
Follow the installation instructions on that web page.
Following that, setting the Max Icon Cache setting in the Registry to 2048 would be
good preventive practice:

Scroll to 'IconCache Fix', download, unzip, then right-click the enclosed .reg file,
click Merge on the menu that appears, and OK to the confirmation message.
