Well I have a problem, not a great one, but a problem.
My "My Computer" and "My Documents" icon are looking quite odd today, compared to the other icons. I have Windows XP pro, and the icons never looked like this before. I am getting a picture up, what is wrong with my icons?! HELP! THANKS!

I don't see a problem. Is the background supposed to be black?

No it looks crappier, and it's just really annoying the crap out of me.

I had this problem man, its all jagged and weird lookin. I couldnt fix it at all, so I downloaded iconpackager (objectdesktop) and got me some new icons.

Do something for me though, change the background to white or a light colour, because I was getting a strange shadow under the icons at the same time as getting the weird jagged edge thing. If I clicked and dragged the icon to somewhere else on my desktop the shadow went. But if I re-booted it came back. I would be interested in any results you come up with.
