After uninstalling Iomega's Active Disk, suddenly my desktop icons were corrupted, although I'm really not sure that it's related to Active Disk.

All icons except the default (system) desktop icons, seem to have an overlay of a MS Word document icon, but just a little smaller so one can see the borders of the orriginal icons.

After re-creating a shortcut, it had the same problem.

I googled on it and found something about ShellIconsCache. Supposedly, after deleting that file the %systemroot% and rebooting, it should be OK. No way. It only applies to the default (system) icons.

So, now I wonder if anyone has had this problem before, or has any suggestions for me.

Many thanks,
