Help icon has taken over desktop icons

Could anyone help with this problem. The purple help book icon with the question mark on it has taken over 22 of my desktop icons. The original icons are still there, with the help icon on top of them.

Try going to the C:\Windows folder and deleting the hidden file ShellIconCache and rebooting. Windows will rebuild the cached Icons when it needs them.
