I have some PC’s in our department that have the non-system application icons on the desktop covered by a windows system icon. The original icon is still visible behind the system icon. I have searhed technet and the solution was to delete the icon cache and some other steps to no avail! If i drag the icon to the quick launch bar it is normal. Any ideas?

  I am also seeing this issue with a Win2K user. His icons are all covered by the command prompt icon. I beleive last month they were all calculator icons. If anyone has the fix for this, please post. I have done a virus scan to make sure nothing funny was going on.
