The icons on my Start button are ok as are any on the >taskbar or the tray. I've had exactly the same problem.. I don't know what caused and i tried everything you have. In the end the only way i fixed it was to Delete the entire Windows dir and reinstall. Not a nice option I know but at least i had NT4 to fall back on. I know of no other way to fix it. -- Stephen Strudwick
