Correct icons not appearing in the Start Menu.

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

When I go into the Start Menu, I see My Pictures, My Music, and My Documents.
The correct icon for My Documents shows, which is the little piece of paper
in the folder. But, for some reason, My Pictures and My Music do not have
correct icons - all they have is a plain folder. How do I make the icons go
back to normal?

folder is corrupt or missing. Here are the steps to fix this problem:
