Ahhh! It worked! I had to improvise a little though and download a Blank.ico off the web (maybe I could have made one, not sure). KUDOS!

I rebooted in safemode. By the way, they displayed incorrectly in safemode too. I loaded cmd.exe, killed explorer.exe , and deleted the IconCache.db file and rebooted. Still messed up.

Thanks. Followed it exactly and there was no effect. Still the white icons on top of the normal icons. Also, I followed the MS10-046: Vulnerability in Windows Shell could allow remote code execution that was in the discussion area of your link and it had no affect as well. Any more ideas?

A few days ago my Desktop shortcut icons went to hell. I'm stumped. I tried a restore but it had issues reapplying the registry. Ran a reg cleaner as a last resort and nothing. I'd imagine it is some sort of registry thing, but I'm not an expert on it. I may be wrong too. I have no idea...
