My Internet Explorer "E" and my "Control Panel" Icons are
not showing up properly. They show up as a whte box with
the task manager looking thing in them. The links still
work, but the icon picture itself is gone. Is there
something I need to restore to get these two icons back?
 
This applies to:
XP Mode Start Menu(NOT 'flat' Classic mode)Home Edition

Control Panel >
Option = Display
Tab = Desktop
Button = Customize Desktop
Tab = General
Make changes as desired
Suggest pressing Restore Defaults button
Ok(s)

i have the same problem, but the solution you recommended
doesn't work.

the thing is that the restore defaults button only
applies to the my computer,my documents, network places
and recycle bin icons...i don't see the options for IE
and control panel anywhere...

and my printers and faxes icon shows the same funny task
manager symbol as well.
