Question about 'All of my desktop icons just became corrupted - what do I do?'

I have a question about All of my desktop icons just became corrupted - what do I do?:

My desktop shortcuts (most) and quickstart shortcuts show the same icon of one of my programs. When I click on ANY of the shortcuts only this one progam opens and finds an incompatible file. If I rightclick on any shortcut and go to properties, all infomation appears to point to the correct executable file. Then when I click on Find Target the system opens Explorer and highlights the correct exe file. pressing enter opens the correct program. I unsuccessfully tried the repair action with Tweakui and Sysicon. I created a new shortcut on the desktop and selected an icon for it. As soon as it had been created it showed the image of the particular program, too and clicking on the new shortcut also attempted to open the said program. Has any body a solution?
