Thanks guys.<br />
I tried a slightly different method originally but killing Explorer, running the del command from the command prompt and restarting Explorer seemed to fix it.<br />
Thanks again!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a user here that all of a sudden is having an issue with Desktop shortcuts.<br />
Regardless of the icon used, there is an icon overlapping it.<br />
You can see in the attached file that the original intended icon is behind the one being shown.<br />
Very strange.<br />
If you browse to his Desktop in explorer, the icon shows up normal. &nbsp;We rebuilt the icon cache but that didn't help.<br />
Tried a system restore as well. <br />
This is only for shortcuts. If you create a new folder on the Desktop for example, it's displayed fine.<br />
Any ideas what would cause this?<br />
