It happened to me months ago... I never found out the problem, and I didn't do anything and it ended up being fine.

Anyway, check for spyware using Spybot and Adaware after doing a virus scan. Use trend micros Housecall thing, it's on line... and I think the address is...

http://housecall.trendmicro.com

or

http://housecall.trend-micro.com

Not sure which one it is.  :-\

That's what happened to me a month ago - I had no idea why.  

Anyway, here's a solution for you:

Download that program - it helps many of the minor annoyances you get from using Windows. Specifically, there's an option to repair your desktop icons. It works 90% of the time.
