Perhaps do you have corrupt /Applications/.DS_Store and /Applications/Utilities/.DS_Store files?
If this is the case, deleting them, after having ensured that no Finder windows display the contents of the Applications and Utilities folders, should be of some help. Note that if you're on a pre-Leopard system, you'll lose the Finder comments, if any, attached to the items contained by those folders. A logout/login sequence may be needed (or, equivalently in this case yet a bit more harsh, just a Finder relaunch thru the "Force Quit..." menu item).
HTH,
Axel
