Patsy,

Try this; Download and install TweakUI.exe V1.33 for win9x from this link. Scroll 
down till you find it.

http://aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#pmtshoot

Be sure to read the info about the program, including the links. 

Don't have my Win98SE system up but I think what you're looking for is on the Repair 
Tab in Tweak UI.  "Rebuild Icon Cache"

Even if this doesn't fix your immediate problem, it's a useful Program and it's FREE.
