Icon Error

Recently I was playing Counter Strike and I was interrupted by an instant message. I noticed as soon as the game minimized the desktop icons didn't show a picture but rather the default icon when there is no icon. Here's a screen shot, now i got pretty much all of the icons on the desktop back to normal (except for my computer) by going into properties and reselecting the icon, which was already selected, but i cant get the ones in my start menu to revert back to normal. I Haven't tried a system restore mainly because i'd like to know what caused this error.

Not sure what caused it, but you could probably just restart the computer and get the icons back.

Download TweakUI, there is an option to rebuild the icons, under repair at the bottom of the directory tree thing.
