Folder icons alternating between customized and default

The simple version:

- When I click Start and then (left) click either My Documents, My Pictures,
My Music, My Computer or My Network Places, the window that appears has
sub folder shown with standard (yellow) Windows XP icons
- When I click Start and then right click either My Documents, My Pictures,
My Music, My Computer or My Network Places, and select Open (or Explore)
from the context menu, the window that appears has sub folder shown with
customized icons (specified in registry - see OP)

Can anyone think of an explanation to this?

In case anyone has a similar problem:

I noticed that this "schizophrenic" icon behaviour was not reproduced on any
other accounts on my computer. So the problem was solved by creating a new
account, and transferring my files from the bad one to the new one.
