generic Windows icons for Office apps (in this case Office 2007 on Windows 7)

I've seen this twice and fixed it the same way both times. On the user's desktop, he/she has generic Windows icons instead of the typical Word or Outlook icons in the taskbar. Here's what that looks like:

I've been able to fix it each time with a batch file I found. Since I can't attach the batch file to this post, I'll put the text of the file here, since it's short:

@echo off

cls

echo The Explorer process must be killed to delete the Icon DB.

echo Please SAVE ALL OPEN WORK FIRST

pause

taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F

echo Attempting to delete Icon DB...

If exist %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db goto delID

echo Previous Icon DB not found...trying to build a new one

goto :main

:delID

cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

del IconCache.db /a

pause

echo Icon DB successfully deleted

goto main

:main

echo Windows 7 must be restarted to rebuild the Icon DB.

echo Restart now? (Y/N):

set /p choice=

If %choice% == y goto end

echo Shutdown aborted...please close this window

explorer.exe

:end

shutdown /r /t 0

exit
