My icons are all messed up. Text files look like iPods and JPGs show up as iTunes playlists before the preview loads.

I used to know how to fix this, it's something simple. Help!

OS 9?

Hold down the Cmd and Opt. keys (Apple + Alt) at some point during start-up, but before the desktop shows. Mac OS 9 will ask you whether to rebuild the desktop database. Say yes.

OS X, I don't know.

For OS X, you'd clear the LaunchServices cache. Go to /Library/Caches, find all the files whose names start with "com.apple.launchservices", delete them, and reboot.
