why do my Office 07 icons keep disappearing in windows 7?

This has happened to me as well and was corrected by viewing the properties from the desktop folder. Once I clicked on the change icon button and canceled the action all the icons for the Office 2007 programs and files were restored, including the taskbar pins.
Reinstalling the programs would not fix the problem from happening again IMO, and not an appropriate solution.

I just repaired Office and that fixed it for me. It occurred after rearranging my start menu.
OS: Win7 32bit
App: MS Office 2010 (14)

This should not be regarded as "the answer" as it did not work.

This did not ungrey the change icon button for the shortcuts that are not displaying correctly.
