So you can re enable them but they are gone every time you restart, is that what you are saying or has this only happened once, has it ever remembered the desktop or has it just started to happen?

i can enable/re-enable them, i just can't change the icons. as you can see in the first image i have changed the computer icon and i want to change the user folder icon.
this has only happened once, i upgraded last night. and it just started to happen

Try changing a theme under Personalize. See if it brings back the default theme icons.

What The.... I thought you were trying to get the custom icons to stick, not get your default icons back.
