When I customize my desktop icons (My Computer and Recycle Bin) in the Desktop Items box the new icons last only until I restart my computer (XP Home) when the default icons re-appear. I have disabled System Restore (It didn't work much of the time) so I can't use that. I do however have a tape backup of my system but I have no idea what to restore. Any help would be appreciated.
