Missing icons MyComputer MyNetworkPlaces RecycleBin

[ccrb]

Windows 2000 pro, after aborted attempt to install Office service pack (original CDs back at work), three icons now display generic instead of default graphic.

MyComputer
MyNetworkPlaces
Recycle Bin

What I have done:
download, install tweakui, did repair icons. no change
from WindowsExplorer, tools/folder options/view/ show hidden files, show system files. no change

I've not found any pertinent advice on here, or groups.google.com that help.

Thaks for the reply but how is this relevant? The icons are there, but are generic icons rather than the default icons. Please explain.

I found it under desktop, properties, effects, desktop icons... and found the three had been changed to generic icons. chose each, click default and it's all perfect now.

thanks
