This is (almost certainly) a sign of serious Directory corruption. You
should boot from another drive and run a disk repair utility, preferably
Disk Warrior.
If you know your way around the Mac well, trash your Finder and System
Preferences first. You can even trash the Finder, System (and System
Resources) files too and replace them with clean ones. If the System Folder
doesn't show an OS icon, then double click the System itself and close it
again to manually "re-bless" the System Folder.
