RE: Why are these icons not showing up?
try restarting, my icons randomly disappeared the other day.
If there normal windows icons then a reboot should sort it.

RE: Why are these icons not showing up?
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...

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.
