Here's how to rebuild the icon cache:
1. Go to Personalize, Display, Adjust Resolution, Advanced Settings, Monitor.
2. From Monitor Tab Change Colors Option from True Color (32 bit) TO High Color (16 bit) 
3. Now we need to Delete the file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db
4. Open any Hard_Disk Drive and Paste this portion on the Top Bar "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\" and press enter. Make sure your Hidden files option is visible.
5. Now Delete Iconcache.db 
6. We need to make change Colors option again. Go there and change from High Color (16 bit) TO True Color (32 bit)
7. New Fresh Iconcache.db will be generated.
7. Reboot you PC/Laptop if Necessary.

Another Process Could be Following this:

Here's how to rebuild the icon cache:
1. Delete the file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db
2. Start Task Manager (Right click the taskbar, select Start Task Manager )
3. From the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click the End Process button
4. Explorer (Taskbar, desktop etc) should now go away and come back.
5. How do I delete the file? In the Start menu, type in RUN %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db I recommend copy/paste so you don't mistype it.

Why kill it rather than just Logging off and Logging on again?
Windows Explorer will load the icon cache into memory when it starts, and then update it in-memory. When it shuts down, for example when you log out, it will write that cache to the file listed above, making it saved as corrupted. By forcibly killing it, you prevent it from writing the (corrupted) cache to disk, and force it to build a new cache when it starts back up. Hopefully that cache will not be corrupted.
