I have seen this problem a few times.
This occurs because of corruption in the Icon Cache file.

Are you running TweakUI, and Internet Explorer 4.0? TweakUI does not have to be installed for this problem to occur.

This Technet article tells you how to fix the problem: Q199152.

To see this article, got to www.microsoft.com, and do a search for the article number above.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
