Hi! My bf just used my laptop now most of the desktop icons (the shortcuts) are broken. Like divided in half. I try to delete it to the recycle bin and make a new one and it's still broken. But only the icon shortcuts are affected though. Pics and other images even in the web are normal. Please help me! My desktop looks so ugly!

try this:
go to http://www.filehippo.com/, go down the middle column boxes (red column) to the Cleaning and Tweaking, download the Tweak UI 2.1, run the program. Inside it, on the very last option, there is a fix icon option, use that, see if it would help

just try and change the icon without deleting it by right clicking and properties and then click change icon that is present in the second tab. if there are any other alternate icons to be selected and in good condition then you use them. if not you can from the same window find the location of the icon file and you can try and edit it to make it OK, then check if your freind used anything like a cd or a pendrive on you notebook and run a thorough virus and syware scan and i'd also recommend registry scanning software which you can get full versions at the rapidshare and the like.
