Icon Pictures Disapearing

[MLSoccer06]

This weekend i was on my computer, and everything is fine. I had to leave town for a couple of days, but was downloading a few large files so i left the computer on and the files downloading. At that point everything was running perfectly.

However, this afternoon when i come back, all the folders on my desktop and half the icons are missing their pcitures. They all have the unknown file icon--every folder in my hard drive has this icon. All the shortcuts in my start menu were like that as well--even the email/internet icons at the top of the menu.

When i right-click a folder, go to customization and then icons, it says it is the default folder icon--i click reset defaults, nothing happens, i change it to the .rtf icon, and it works, i change it to an open folder icon, it doesnt work, i change itback the the regular closed folder default icon, and it doesnt work.

Does anyone know what is going on here, or have any advice on where i could fix my folders/icons?

Thanks.

Just to let anyone else know who might have a similar problem, i figuted out waht to do in my case. It was actually very simple, just launch tweak ui, and do the option under repair titled rebuild icons. Bam, they are all fixed.
