ShellIconFix - Utility to repair the shell object icons in Windows XP:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/shelliconfix.htm

Download the utility, unzip and run it.
Select the option "Repair Folder icon"
Click Repair.

For the changes to take effect immediately, enable the checkbox "Apply
changes immediately". Note that this option would reset your desktop icon
layout.
