    i dont think its the Aero Theme reason is is working in that video,
    i had isuess with areo if it was areo he would have a solid start bar and would not be clear.
    have you installed anything before this happend?
    the reason is it might affect some file type's, im not very good at this but.
    i found something that might help you if you wish to give it a try its your choice.

    their is 2 to look at.

    none installed, except windows defender updates, and yesterday after I installed and update I could not access torrentleech as I could not get the captcha image on IE8 and Google Chrome, but I hoped in with Firefox, but then lately both IE8 and Google Chrome also started showing, then again some updates were available for windows defender as I installed em, pooof, IE8 and Google Chrome again started screwing with torrentleech's captcha, so I don't know if this is the result of windows defender updates or not, by the way I went to program files and there i checked the exe's but they are also like no icon, as when a file has icon when it's got no extension :(

    ok, so it may be windows defender, so another key point would to be
    disable it, safe all your file & setting on utorrent.
    redownload utorrent and then install, overwirte the utorrent on your system.
    make sure you click place an icon on desktop (creat shortcut)
    please make sure you back it all up tho first so if i dont work you still go your files.
    it should then work i hope.
    ive done this before on vista, but it wasent windows defender.

    There is an easier way to restore uTorrent's icon, then reinstalling it.
    Right click on the shortcut > Properties > Change Icon. Change it to a different icon, click "Apply". Then change it back to normal icon and "Apply" again.

    I have same problem on my laptop. Looks like win7 have a problem extracting icons from .exe files.

    I've just tried THIS and it worked:
    Kill Explorer.exe process. To do so, click Start button > Hold down Ctrl+Shift & Right Click on empty area in the Start Menu > Click "Exit Explorer".

    Click Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys and open Task Manager.

    Click File > New Task > cmd.exe > OK. This will open the command prompt.

    Type cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    Click OK
    Type attrib –h IconCache.db
    Click OK
    Type del IconCache.db
    Click OK
    Type start explorer
    Click OK.

    EDIT: indeed this did fix the problem, as it arose in some other apps lately
