Icons do not match correct functions
I give up! I am having an issue were all the application icons on my desktop are not correct. The same icon is replacing them all. Each time I reboot it changes to something else. It is also affecting the icon for both of my root drives. I removed the ShellIconCache file and it still happens. A fellow tech suggested I install Tweak UI and "repair" the icons. It did repair them to the correct icon but as soon as I rebooted the issue was back. Help

Have you ran a virus scan on that machine lately? Including system files... That would be my first thing to try if TweakUI didn't permanetally fix it. You may also want to try to run regclean (downloadable from Microsoft) Make sure you run regclean at least twice or until it tells you don't have anymore errors.

Hope that helps...
