System Preferences icon problem

[THX2008]

I noticed that the "universal" icon within the System Preferences menu seems to be out of place and much different from what I remember. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Here:
Close System Preferences, then look for a file called "com.apple.preferencepanes.cache"...it's in <your user directory>/Library/Caches. Drag it to your Desktop and then try opening System Preferences again. If all looks well, you can go ahead and trash the file you dragged to your Desktop.

That did the trick. Thank you very much.
