Desktop icons not showing

[Guest]

I recently had to replace my system drive and did so by copying the old drive
to the new one. Since then several of the icons on my destop do not show thr
icon the show only the generic shortcut. When I try to change the icon in
properties I get the message:
Windows cannot fnd the file
%SystemRoot%\Installer\{ABEB838C-A1A7-4C5D-B7E1-8B4314600816}\Msbl.Exe.
How can I correct this problem. Also the Office Icons are not there and do
not have a change icon button in properties.

Msbl.Exe is scumware.

Thanks,
That did help. I was able to recover the icons by restablishing the
shortcuts on the desktops. Will msbl.exe be caught in Antispyware or Norton?
