Some major desktop icons are screwed up

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Go here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp [...] rtoys.mspx and
download TweakUI. Install and launch it. At the bottom left is a repair
branch. Click on that. In the drop down, make sure 'Rebuild Icons' is
displayed then hit Repair Now.
