Well I know how to get rid off the white strip in a folder. You just go to Tools>Options, then its the first bit on the general tab, where it says,

Tasks
Show common tasks in folders
Use Windows classic folders

and you choose the 'Use Windows classic folders' to hide the white strip thing.

Never seen it appear on the desktop though. Do you use any third party programs to customise your windows settings like TweakUI?

That icon showing all wrong, is just temporary.. Had that the day before yesterday too with some files. But yesterday they were OK again..
