notification area displaying incorrect icons for programs

Somehow my volume control is now showing up as logitec icon, my firewall icon
is showing the weatherbug icon, etc. When I go to the start up/task bar area
of control panel, almost all of my programs are either showing incorrect
icons or just now showing the file folder icon rather than the icon pictures
I have always known them by. It's wierd and I can't find out how to get them
straightened out correctly.
Any suggestions how this happened and how to fix?
