Strange Icon Problem Win2K

[aich69]

I have a machine running Win2K on my network. For no apparent reason, not one that I can figure at any rate, all the desktop shortcut to application icons have been 'overlaid' with the 'empty recycle bin' icon, with the exception of; My Computer My Documents, My Network Places, Outlook and Recycle Bin. Has anyone seen/rectified this before?

Help!!

Thanks.

I have run virus and spyware checks, both of which returned negative results.

Thanks for that one Eguy.
I didn't use this fix as reading it jogged my bosses grey matter and we did the following:

Enabled hidden files to be shown, searched for and deleted 'shelliconcache' file and rebooted. This multi recycle bin effect is down to a the above file being corrupted.

All is back to normal now.

Cheers
