A couple of weeks ago I found some of my Windows icons to be damaged (WinXP Home SP2), and am having some trouble in correcting them, which you can see an example of here:

I've managed to correct the Paint Shop Pro icon on the desktop by re-creating a shortcut, but the other icons are harder to find and so re-creating the shortcuts are a problem.
Does anybody know where the Windows icons are stored, and if they are easily replaceable? For example, if were to find the location, and then overwrite them with a new icon, would it cause any problems within Windows?
I could be wrong, but from what I recall from college, some Windows icons are stored in a single dll / exe file, rather than individual icon images.
Thanks.

There is a way to flush XP's Icon Cache at boot. Had to do it myself a while a go for the same reason. Have a google for it.
