It does on my W2K SP4. At random the icon cache gets mixed up and suddenly
a lot of icons don't match anymore. It is especially bad with Icon Overlays.

I use Tortoise CVS, a CVS shell extension, and their newest version has a
special command built into their context menu to rebuild the icon cache. I
do have some suspicions that Tortoise CVS may be responsible for some of
the icon distortion but it happens regularly even when using normal MS
applications.
