Are you thumbnailing the view for the folder that holds the icons?

If yes, may want to try turning that off. By default XP renders the bitmap
image as the file's icon so thumbnailing is not necessary.

Another thing to try: It's possible that a "bad" file is causing the
problem. Move a few files at a time to the new folder. Open the folder to
check it's okay. Move a few more. Eventually, you'll get to a group that
contains the problem file. Using process of elimination, figure out which
file (or files) need to be removed from the folder for it to work properly.

One more thing: If you look at the folder's properties and see a page tab
for Adobe, use the options on that page to disable their viewer.
