Boot/Unlock/Sleep - icons lanks, system busy, can't logoff/shutdown

Vista, SP1

I have a problem...stared out occurring when I went to sleep mode for
a while or locked the workstation. Now I am getting it on a cold boot
too.

System comes up, but my desktop icons, with the exception of three or
four out of sixty five, are blank - text shows but icons are blank (My
Computer and Control Panel shortcuts always look fine along with one
desktop folder). The system shows busy (hourglass). The disk drive
rattles away excessively for a while.

The hour glass never goes away, the icons stay blank. I can start
programs by clicking on the blank icons and use them normally. A check
in Process Explorer shows little activity with the exception of
csrss.exe (after a cold boot) which is doing a fair amount of IO and
getting 5% CPU - although when this happens with a return from sleep
mode there is no significant activity so I don't know that csrss is
related.

I can do anything I'd like EXCEPT logoff or shutdown. The only way to
shutdown is via a hard power off. Once I crash it with a hard power
off and reboot, it works properly.

Any ideas?
