Where did all my icons go?

I was at a LAN today, and we played COD for quite a while. When I exited COD, you can see what happened in the attachment. All of my icons have dissapeared! Some of them are still there, but folders, exe's, a lot of stuff has gone back to that generic icon. What happened, and what can I do about it? Scanned my computer for viruses, nothing there. I remember reading on some XP hints and tips page about deleting some file that was like a database of icons, and if you deleted that and restarted your computer all your icons would reset. Does anybody know about this? Thanks.

Try going into task manager, ending explorer.exe, and then click file > new task > and type in explorer.exe. that should refresh all your buttons.
