Self Changing Icons

I have a strange problem with 'My Computer', 'My Documents', & 'Recycle Bin'.

Every time I change these icons, they last for a while then revert to to standard icons.

Any clue?
 
Update

It appears that these icons will change back to the default icons every time I log out. If I change them and log out, then log right back in, they have been restored to the default icons.

Note: This only effects the icons changed from "Display Properties : Desktop : Customize Desktop". Not any icons that are changed through Shortcut Properties

Is there a setting somewhere that could be set to "Restore Default" ?
 
Ya I am having the same problem! Get very annoying..... Anyone help?
 
you might try changing them then restarting your computer so it gets past "saving your settings". i had a problem like that witht eh start menu and it was because the power went out and it didnt save it
 
Ya they dont seem to be changing now..... sweet... knock on wood..
 
Try to change the icons with the program E-icons. Worked for me. :D
 
Damaged Profile.

I found the problem.

It seems that in my case, it was a damaged user profile. My SO's profile would save changed without a problem, but mine still wouldn't. I created a new user profile, swap all my settings over to the new one, and what do you know??? No more funny problems.

I also discovered that the problems arose just afer installing Roxio EasyCD Creator 5.0 and the XP update to 5.1 from the Roxio website. Could this be yet another in a long string of problems with Roxio?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
