Win XP Desktop Icons Changing

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am running Windows XP Pro. Recently I noticed that one of my desktop icons
(MSN Gaming Zone) had changed from the usual icon to a generic one. Then,
another one changed, and a third has now done the same. The three are MSN
Gaming Zone, MSN Messenger 6.2 and Norton System Works 2003. The icons in
the Start menu have changed as well. How can I get my original icons back?
Thank.
Bill.
