Quick-launch icon graphics gone

Good morning to all.
On my xp-home system, I discovered last night that the graphics for most of the quick-launch icons are missing. There are plain, ugly squares in their place now. Nice graphics do remain for a few of the programs. Also, the programs will still launch properly.

I can not think of anything recent that I did, other than d/l a few security updates from Microsoft on Tuesday. The problem I'm having began sometime around/after Tuesday I believe.

I have run complete AVG, Spywareblaster and spybot scans but nothing has been detected yet. I think I will run bitdefender, Panda, Trend Micro tonight as well.

Any ideas on what may have happened or how to restore this?

Thanks for any advice.

The free Power Toy from Microsoft called TweakUI has an option/function to "rebuild" icons...
