You can change the shortcut symbol that appears for icons that represent shortcuts.
If this appeared out of nowhere all of the sudden, I strongly suggest using the Trend Micro and Panda online antivirus scans. smah's FAQ will give you the links: faq760-3862
To change these icons, use the MS Powertoy TweakUI to modify the shortcut addition to icons:

Has this clock icon replaced the Shortcut arrows?
Check this location in your Registry and see what value you have if the Key "29" exists.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIcons
These may explain my reasoning.
An old article so some of the locations might be a bit different in XP.

Wow, I've found solution!!!
Windows XP ships with a number of icon overlays not only shortcut icon...
The "black clock" icon means that the file has been archived to tape and will take a very long time to access.
This "black clock" icon is particularly baffling because you sometimes see it even if your system is not equipped with Hierarchical Storage Management (My case).
When this happens, it's because some program (typically a setup program) didn't check error codes properly.
