black square on desktop icons

[dsa1971]

This appeared maybe a week ago or less. A lot, but not all, of my desktop icons have this black square. I'm not sure how it happened. It's like it's supposed to be a checkbox or something. Here's a picture of it

any ideas?

Looks to me like you're missing the shortbut image.

Did the color settings in display properties get changed somehow? like from true color to 24bit ?
