such a thing can happen when your PC cant retrieve the icon pictures fast enough on start up it gives up and leaves them blank.
Normally this would only happen with one or 2 icons

Do you Find your PC to be Running slow other than at Start up ?

You might want to try rebuilding icon cache. Rebuilding icon cache is for when your icons have changed to different ones unexpectedly or it displays odd things.

You can rebuild the Icon Cache without editing the registry by using a Windows XP PowerToy called TweakUI.
