Icons mixed up

The icons on my desktop are mixed up. The ms word docs have dial up network icons, the dial up aliases have autocad icons, ...
I don't have any viruses - I ran Norten with the latest update from their site.
And now the machine will only come up in safe mode. I tried doing a system restore and it said that noting had changed.
Any ideas? TIA

Delete ShellIconCache in c:\windows\.

If that doesn't work, get Tweak UI and use its rebuild icons feature.

Well I guess my real problem is that the machine is always booting into safe mode, and I have no idea what to do there. Thanks.
