Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox Icons

I'm sure this is something I could fix given some time with my good friend Google, but time is something I don't have a lot of, and the problem isn't really that serious -- just annoying.

In a nutshell, the icons in my Toolbox (VS 2005, not SP1) are "messed up" -- they're all the same icon (see picture on right).  Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?  Especially suggestions that won't cause me to lose other non-default settings I have changed?

Update: It's only happening on WinForms apps (web apps are OK), and it is only on three of the control groups in the toolbox: "All Windows Forms", "Common Controls", and "Containers".

Hi, I had the same problem. Right click on the toolbox, select 'Reset Toolbox' solved the problem for me.

Since I just started a new job, I actually don't use that computer any more.  But I'll pass that fix back to someone at that company.  Thanks.

It really sucks and I believe MS doesn't give a shit about! Resetting the toolbox is not an ideal solution because you loose all your custom settings.
