Right click the corrupt icon and choose "Properties", click the "Shortcut" tab and at the bottom of the options there should be an option to "Change Icon...", click it and enter "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe" into the field for My Computer, or "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mydocs.dll" for My Documents, select the icon you want and then click OK.

Thanks for the reply, however, when you right click My Docs and choose properties, the only tabs are: "Target", "General" and "Sharing", no "Shortcut" tab
Likewise, when you right click My Computer and choose properties, you have several tabs, non with "Shortcut"

Choose the Desktop tab and the Customize Desktop button at the bottom of window. From here you will be able to choose each desktop icon and change it or restore the default.

His XP isn't different than yours, you have shortcuts created to My Computer and My Documents. His is actually enabled through Display Properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop
