O.P. Why are these icons not showing up?
On my desktop, half of the icons are not showing up (See screenshot for more details)
They used to but now they don't and i have no idea why
Anyone know why?

try restarting, my icons randomly disappeared the other day.

If there normal windows icons then a reboot should sort it.

Google and read these first:
http://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&q=refresh+icon+cache

Also, you don't need to restart Windows, see google again:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article06-031

Has that worked?

----------------

btw, I see that all the icons are way different than the standard default Windows icons. Do you use any skin or something which might interfear with the proper workings of the icon cache or layout of Windows in general? Try to uninstall the skin first...

Nope, tried many different things on google, none seemed to work. Tried restarting about 10 times, still no luck :(

RE: Why are these icons not showing up?
I had a simular problem to this when I upgraded one of my programs (forget what it was) and I cba looking for a solution and just deleted the shortcuts and made new ones manually.  It worked and hasn't happened since (though I haven't updated that program again).  I know it's a bit of effort but it worked for me and that's the main thing.

I'm sure there must be a better way but I couldn't think of anything and I know this way works.
