Desktop icons gone generic

Windows 7 64 bit
Desktop icons have gone generic, cannot change them
Task bar and links bar icons ok
If I pin an Icon to task bar it assumes proper type/picture/style

have tried changing themes


Checking and un checking desktop icons

Deleted icon cache in john/ apdata/ local no help
Ran cfc /SCANNOW reports all ok
Any words of wisdom?

Have you tried a system restore ?

Here is a link for rebuilding Icon Cache, I have used it one time successfully.
