TweakUI (now offered on MS site i believe) had a button "repair desktop icons" - it always repaired them after they got messed up for some obscure reason (in Win98 that i had before).
Haven't tried this fucntion with XP but i imagine it does the same - repairs the icons.

Faster to just reenter the program that caused it and more often than not it will fix the icons problem when you close it. Odd sort of bug in XP anyways though.

Now that I remember, I had the similar problem when playing Gothic II, but instead the desktop wallpaper vanished. That was fixed by establishing the wallpaper again in Properties of desktop (right-click).
Speaking of icons, another way of fixing them after that might be to just right-click on the attachment, click on Properties and in the Shortcut tab click on Change Icon. By clicking on Ok and then OK to close that window that should fix the icon again. |

I had something similar but not very alarming (definitely a bug). i played a game on dosbox and when i finished the "my computer" icon was looking like in old VGA resolution. i was amazed, it seemed to me very funny after some days it desapeared when i finished playing another game. i also tried refreshing the screen and restarting the computer but none worked, it just went after some days.
