This is not the first time this has happened. I'm suspecting a game
installation, but that's just a guess. For some reason all my icons on my
desktop and initial Windows "Start" menu have changed to the Windows default
rather than the icon assigned to them. Right clicking on the icon, selecting
properties, change icon, then just clicking "OK" set it back in most cases
(not so for Outlook). I'd like to know what caused this and if there's a way
to set them all back properly rather than the work around of settting each
one individually.
