I run WinXP Home and upgraded from FAT32 to NTFS a couple of months ago.
After that, every few days some of my icons changed to the blank box icon.
Not all icons were affected. My Documents, My Computer, Recycle bin were not
affected. But many of my program icons were: most of Microsoft Office
including the .doc and .xls files, but other programs (eg ZoneAlarm) were
not. I have tried to do a system restore, but system restore isn't working
(it is reporting an error and I think a previous restore point has become
corrupt and I now have to remove all restore points). I appears that for
those applications affected, all icons have become the blank boxes: that is
the icons on the desktop, in the start/program menu and the documents
themselves. Anyone got any ideas?
