Hello

I have a stupid problem.  
All my exe files that i know have a icon file don’t show it anymore.  
It is in the shortcuts and the .exe it self

What is wrong with my computer  
I am using Windows XP SP3

It is not the problem of SP3 because i have that on my computers sins it went online.  
And only last night my icons stopt working.

I have tryed a system restore but that didn’t work

What should i do?
