Use System Restore to roll your computer back to a date to before when your computer worked right. Before the error(s) started occuring.

To start System Restore, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. Or, in the Help and Support main screen, click Use System Restore under Fix a problem.
 
Are you saying all your icons appear wrong? If so try this. Find folder options (I don't know where it is in winME since I don't use ME) and open the view tab. Place a tick in 'show all files' then ok out. Then search your computer for a file called ShellIconCache and delete it then restart the computer. At restart, a new ShellIconCache file will be created. Now see if the icons are correct.
 
thanks for help i'll try that
 
I tried to find this System Restore option on my WIN2000 computer and don't see it. Does it exist in Win2000? Did this work in WinMe? A friend is having problems with their Me machine.
