Try refreshing the icon cache by deleting the IconCache.db file from your profile 
directory (usually /Documents and Settings/Username/Local Settings/Application Data). 
It will be automatically recreated.

   1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data
   2. Delete IconCache.db
   3. Reboot

If the problem persist, increase the icon cache size, using regedit

   Start / Run enter regedit> and press OK 
   Navigate to:
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
      MaxCachedIcons=4096 (it would be enough)
      then delete "ShellIconCache".
