Default Missing ShellIconCache

How pleasant it is to read the way you 'regulars' interact. Very cheering.
Guaranteed to give one a smile. I came back to get a link to this thread in
order to give credit where it was due (elsewhere) and noticed the additional
posts.

All the best, Noel and Alan.

Hello Alan,

Just one 'traditional' restart gave me the ShellIconCache. What do I

notice?
More uniformity in the finalisation of the loading of my Desktop icons.

I appreciate your sharing of the knowhow.

Thanks.

Ben.

Noel, although I am uncertain as to what you were trying to tell me, I do
have a suggestion for 'fat fingers' - take piano lessons! vbg

Alan, hello and thanks for responding.

Yes I do use shortcuts for shutdowns and restarts - these:

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows and
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2

I will revert to the original and see if it works. But, Alan, what will
having the cache do for my system?

Ben.

If it is not a hidden file in the Windows folder, then it probably
doesn't exist. You won't find it on the CD.

Do you use some other method to shutdown instead of Start-Shutdown
that may be stopping ShellIconCache being created when you shut down?

YW, Ben - that's why I stay around!!
The XP groups tend to be a little too aggressive for my tastes (although I
can mix it with 'the best', on occasion) - these groups are family for me
(without the internecine strife of real families, most of the time!)

Hello Galen,

Glad you are still active. Unlike Wales (Noel's territory) where it is
always raining, and Alan's where they huddle whilst awaiting the next Ashes
series - regardless of the weather, and yours where even smaller mountains
are snow-covered now, I am by nature Rupert Bear - like (i.e. I hibernate
regardless of the weather). I am indeed denned up as you suggest. The
calendar gives me the freedom.

Best wishes, Galen.

Ben.
