It's difficult to guess what your problem may be since we don't know if you run current antivirus, anti spyware software and such but there is a program from Micro$oft developers that has a repair fuction to rebuld your icons. It's called Tweakui (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx). You could give it a try.

Tony. Try to right click on the Icon, Then click "change Icon" it should bring up the proper Icon click on it and click apply.

What happens when you click on the icons?

Do all of them open IE?

Pasted for internet:

Just refresh the icon cache by deleting the IconCache.db file from your profile directory (usually /Documents and Settings/Username/Local Settings/Application Data). It will be automatically recreated.
