Did you try changing the theme? I am not certain, but it may help as some themes have icons also included and the icons change when the theme changes. You can change the theme and change back to this theme again.

    Hello Chakra,

    Here is an article giving an overview of the Windows 7 desktop. You can select multiple icons as well as adjust the theme. To learn more about the desktop go here (and select appropriate links): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-desktop-overview#section_2.
