I had the same problem on my local secondary partition when I moved
stuff. I realized that during the "move" I was telling Vista to not copy
over the file that gives the Vista blue icon.
This is what I did. I reset the location of my shell folders back to
default, and chose not to copy the data files back. This reset the icons
to blue, and the locations back to my user folder. I then went back to
properties for each shell folder, and then moved, a second time, each
shell location to the new location on the other partition and this time
made sure that I allowed every file to get copied to the new location. I
don't know if this will work on a network.
