Answer 2

Do you get an error when you click the icons, or what? If so, please post.

Trying checking the porperties of the non-working icons. Do a right-click on the icon and select properties. In the target box, see where the icon is trying to load the program from. I have seen cases where Windows has changed the location of icon targets so that instead of point to "C:\something" they will point to a different drive "g:\something". Just change the icons back to "c:"

(And yes, the Tweakui icon rebuild will something correct this problem).

Answer 3

download tweakui and install it

www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui

and rebuild all icons

and they will start working
