Hi
I've had some trouble with corrupt icons on my win xp pro sp1 machine. After much search on the web I finaly found that one where supposed to delete the IconCache located in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ USERNAME\LOCAL SETTINGS\APPLICATION DATA\IconCache.db (where USERNAME is your account name)
Once you have deleted that file start up TweakUI for win xp and choose to rebuild icons. Next time you start Win Xp the file you previously deleted is now rebuilt and this worked wonderfull for me.
I just wanted to share this tip to others who might have the same problem."
If no luck with the above.
Normally you would use the following method method via the Edit File Type option.
Folder Options/ File Types (Select your file type eg. Jpg)/ Advanced/ Change Icon.
Click to change the icon that is associated with this file type.

I wonder if this is related to your problem?
Preventing Sysprep from Removing Default and Custom Desktop Icons and Shortcuts
Another improbable suggestion is that the fault is in the Registry. Have a look around this key (and any other corresponding Office Applications that you have. Also check the keys just below too.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlook
Don't ask me what should be there, but maybe the Icons get there address from there?
That was loosely (very loosely!) based on this article.
