Further follow-up...

Today, all icons are restored, but Office Update still won't work.

Very odd.

JoAnn,

I had the same thought. I have backups of all data.

I just ran a complete AVG scan of all files and it found nothing.

The Office Update error page had a link to send an e-mail to MS for help.
I've done that and will report back here when I get a response. I think
this has something to do with installer files because when I check
properties of a non-MS app with a changed icon and click Change Icon, I
get an error about an installer file missing.

This would concern me enough to start backing up my important files. I
don't know what's causing it but it doesn't sound good.

Another follow-up.....

Now, other desktop icons are disappearing, being replaced with the
generic DOS-style icon.

Help!
