See http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista/

You can try to reset the Windows icon cache.

Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)

In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.

Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.

Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).

Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.

After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.

It is possible that the file IconCache.db is a hidden file and in that case you need to enable viewing hidden files.

You can verify that you can see the file before doing the above mentioned steps.
