I have several workstations that have the wrong icons on the desktop. I don't believe this is a profile issue because it is happening to muliple users on the same machine, including the domain admin. But if I log on to another machine with the domain admin account, all icons are ok. I've tried changing icons with no success. Any ideas would be appreciated.

You may want to try deleting shelliconcache.dll and letting the system rebuild it on the next boot. These are the steps as explained in MS KB article Q216165.
1. At a command prompt, change to the %SystemRoot% folder.
2. Type "attrib -h shelliconcache" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
3. Type "del shelliconcache" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
4. Click Start, click Log Off <Username> (where <Username> is the name you used to log on), and then click Yes.
5. Log back on to your computer.
