Icons do not load on startup

My girlfriend recently bought a new laptop from DELL (Studio 15) w/an i7 processor/4GB RAM/64bit Windows 7 ultimate.

Anyways, she really doesn't do anything on her computer (definitely doesn't need that kind of computer) and only has these programs installed:

• Mozilla FireFox (I use)
• Google Chrome (She uses)
• Picasa
• CCleaner
• TeamViewer
• Verizon Wireless Internet Program
• AOL Instant Messenger
• iTunes
• FrostWire (I hate it, too)
• Speccy
• Internet Explorer (Neither of us use)

Anyways, nearly all of those have icons on the desktop and about 50% of the time, when she turns on her computer, either they're all white or none of them show up, at all. She doesn't have to reboot for them to show again, all she has to do is logout and log back in. Although, that is rather tedious to do nearly every time that she turns on her computer.

Any quick fix?
