They all look like the icon for a file that has an unknown extension. They were working fine earlier today, but now they're not. Can anybody help? Thanks. -------------------- Signature version 3.0

What extensions do the files have?

They're shortcuts. This only occurs on my desktop.

Hmm....maybe you should try dleting it and creating the shortcut again, or the application it links to has no icon. Or your system doesn´t know how to handle .lnk files(I assume they are if you say shortcuts).
