The Windows icon cache has always been one of the buggiest pieces of code. I always assumed they fixed it for NT/2000/XP but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it still gets corrupted at times.

I am told this is what the Internet Explorer icon looks like after winetests.exe is run. Strange eh?
It does on my W2K SP4. At random the icon cache gets mixed up and suddenly a lot of icons don't match anymore. It is especially bad with Icon Overlays.
I use Tortoise CVS, a CVS shell extension, and their newest version has a special command built into their context menu to rebuild the icon cache. I do have some suspicions that Tortoise CVS may be responsible for some of the icon distortion but it happens regularly even when using normal MS applications.
