New Can TweakXP do anything?
For several versions, TweakUI and kin have had various rebuild this or that commands. Maybe they could help.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

. . but once the problem was correctly identified the fix is easy to do by hand if you're willing to hand edit the registry - which I'm accustomed to 'cause I do it every week to fix somebody's worms or parasites.

This machine is coming back with the same problem in the morning. Turns out it was caused by trying to uninstall Napster (the new paid for version) or another program he'll give me the name of. I'll probably have to get those out of the registry by hand too.

Now that I've got it pegged, the icon thing is a 5 minute fix.
