Just wondering...did you install Windows XP
*over* a previous operating system?

Maybe if you download and install TweakUI
it will repair your icons for you.

Windows XP PowerToys / free download

Once installed...open the Program and go to...
Repair / Rebuild Icons / Repair Now.

Try this:
Click Start on the taskbar.
Right-click an empty space on the Start menu, and then click Properties.
On the Start Menu tab, click Start Menu.
Click Customize, and then click the Advanced tab.
Under each of the following Start Menu items, click Display as a link:
My Documents
My Music
My Pictures
Click OK, click Apply, and then click OK.
 
when i went to the advanced tab, i saw that my settings
were already like that. if you have any other
suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it.
