On Win9x the system imagelist is shared across all applications, any changes made by a single application effect all applications.

Sometimes an application will modify the system imagelist and it will cause problems like what you see in FlashFXP.

rebuilding the entire imagelist will resolve the problem or sometimes simply rebooting does the trick.

This is a small bug I ran across the other day...

In this case, it happened to be the "LiveUpdate" icon from Norton Antivirus 2002. This had also happened once before, but, that time, it was the CorelDraw 9 icon.

System Specs:
FlashFXP Version: 2.1 (Build 924)
OS: Windows 98SE

i think your icon cache is corrupted.
tried clearning it with tweakui?

MxxCon, that thought crossed my mind not more than 2 minutes after I posted this message. I simply renamed the ShellIconCache file and reboot the machine to let Windows rebuild the icon cache.

I'm not blaming FlashFXP for this, I blame Microsoft :D
