Shell icon cache corruption, try deleting %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db then reboot and see what happens.

DJ Dunk in post 5 has hit the nail on the head, just delete that file and reboot and everything should be back to normal. I see this a lot at work, what with supporting 450 pcs.

It's the last option in the list - "Repair". Then select "Rebuild Icons"
