Hmm... looks to me like the little "shortcut" arrow icon has become missing.

Tried refreshing the desktop?

If that fails you'll have to go to properties of each icon and change the icon and then just browse to the icon or exe and hit apply. might fix it.

It's the shortcut icon for shortcuts, not the shortcut icon itself. Be careful and go into File Types and find the .lnk extension and choose an icon for it. Sorry, I don't know how to get to File Types in Win7.

You either have to do it through registry or a third party app. I recommend http://defaultprogramseditor.com/

TuneUp Utilities fixed the problem

Thanks for your help anyway.
