Restore missing Excel icons?

[Guest]

I have Microsoft Office Pro 2000, SP-3. I have several Excel spreadsheets
stored on my desktop. Today all my icons disappeared. The files seem intact
and the outline of the original icon remains, but it is blacked out. What is
causing this and how do I fix it? Nothing has been installed or modified
lately, and I can't seem to bring up an option in the properties list to
change the icon.

Just Excel Icons or all Icons?

TweakUI has an option to repair icons. Also:

Well, I did a little more research after posting my original question, and it
appears that it's only the worksheet icon for Excel. All the other icons are
still there, including the main Excel program icon. I opted to just change
the icon, but I've never seen anything like that... Weird.
