I closed DOSBox 0.71 and found all the icons on my desktop as well as on the Start menu have been changed to those you get when they're "unknown file type". I emptied my trashcan and some, but not all, icons got restored. I have plenty of free space on the hdd (fairly new).
What is going on and how can I fix it? Thanks a ton to whoever have an answer.

Doing an AVG scan now, and it found a delf.ckk trojan in one exe. Still scanning.
I have had this exe for a while now, but when I d/l it and scanned it, AVG found nothing. Now it does. :wallbash: EDIT: Scan finished. Only the delf.ckk found and fixed, according to AVG at least. Still the icons are messed up.

I remember that happened to me back awhile ago from either Deus Ex, or Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, when I exited the program after like a resolution change, guessing you must have tried rebooting already, otherwise reenter dosbox again exit again as normal, reboot and see what happens it might just get your icons back.

DD, my man I started up DB and the game (just in case I needed to set the resolution to what it was when it happened), exited both, and lo and behold the icons reappeared. Didn't even have to reboot.
Thanks a ton, mate k:

No problem. First time that happened to me, I started to manually find the icons and essentially go through a bunch finding the original icon and making sure XP would recognize it again, then fluke luck went back into the game and volia the icons returned, glad to see the same held true. k:

Next time it happens, just press F5 or right-click on desktop and select "Refresh" and see if that helps.

muck happens, I guess Windows is not bug-free, it once happened to me and persisted for many days (yes I turned off the computer many times during that time), then came back some day for some unknown reason. :P
