Icon Cache In ME
I've accumulated quite a number of icons on my desktop and I've
noticed recently they are slow to come up and some of them just show the Windows icon until I right click on Refresh. I can't seem to find any Icon Cache in the registry; is there a way to fix this? |

The registry has no icon cache. The Win Me icon cache is the file
ShellIconCache (no extension) in your windows folder. You can safely delete this file and reboot and it will be rebuilt. Where the registry comes in is that there is a setting there which controls the size of the icon cache. The easiest way of increasing the number of icons that can be cached is to download the registry patch IconCacheFix from http://www.aumha.org/reg1.htm and merging it with your registry. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP E.
