On a recent install of Office XP I recieved a fatal exeption error and i was forced to reboot. After rebooting I have the unkown icons (Windows page icons) in place of the MY COMPUTER, NETOWRK NEIGHBORHOOD, and RECYCLE BIN icons. How do I get them back.

Your windows system is corrupted.
So don't just focus on that, because other problems may be inside your system.

Use System file checker.

start-->run-->sfc-->scan the system (then follows the instructions, you may need the original windows CD.)
