all icons

[Guest]

Hi, I tried to find the answer but am stuck. I recently purchased a HP
laptop with HP Windows XP SP2 and it came with the trial version for Office
XP. I chose not to run it and instead uninstalled Office using the
Add/Remove Utility. Now all my icons on the whole disk come up as that
(broken link?) default icon - even the hard drives in My Computer and so
forth. Can anyone help me? Or should I jus wait to pgrade to Vista? I've
been opening each icon's properties to change the icon but that is getting
old fast and I can't do it for the drives. Thanks!
