Default Icons changed

Part of my Icons on the bottom tool bar have become
distorted to the point that you can't tell what they are.
Not all of them have, just the ones next to my start
button. Anyone have any ideas why this happened and how I
can fix it?? Thanks and God bless!!

First - check that you haven't any viruses/malware/trojans etc., using the
frequently posted recommendations on these news groups!!

Only then - make sure that you have your Folder Options set so that you can
view System files and folders, and Hidden Files.
Now - Open Windows Explorer and go to c:\Windows - look there for the file
'ShellIconCache'.
DELETE IT
reboot, and windows will rebuild the file.

If that doesn't work, then you'll need to increase the size of the cache -
download and install the IconCache Fix from
http://www.aumha.org/reg1.htm

But do check for viruses first!!
