It happens often that suddenly the images of my icons get mixed-up. As an exemple, all my word files get the Explorer symbol, etc.. When I reboot it comes back to normal. Somebody can help on this? THANKS

Windows keeps a "cache" of the graphics used to display icons. The icon cache allows Windows to display icons quicker by making a temporary store of what they look like. Sometimes this cache gets corrupted and you end up with mixed up icons. You can use software like Microangelo to rebuild your icon cache. There are probably other applications you could use too. Some of the desktop tweakers often include "Rebuild Icon Cache" in them.
