icons changed or damaged

[Elaine]

The icons for shortcuts to web pages I have put on my
desktop have changed to generic ones.
When I right click the icon and choose properties the
usual "e" has a red asterick next to it and will not let
me choose it. I am assuming the icon is damaged? How do I
fix that?
Any help appreciated.

Once you clear your history and temp int files, the custom icons get cleared
as well.
