Desktop icons say invalid picture after installing Ramdisk--Today I created a ram disk for ie cache and temp files. After reboot I have noticed when double clicking some program icons to start the program I get a error pop up in windows 10 x64 saying invalid picture. The program will not open. I uninstalled ram disk and this time only picked ie cache when installing the ram disk and rebooted and now my program icons start as normal. Anyone have any ideas why the ram disk with windows temp files selected caused invalid picture or how to fix it.Any ideas appreciated...

Ok..Do you think reinstalling the program will put the icon where it suppose to be then. Is there a big benefit at all in having windows temp on a ram disk or not,like just put the browser cache in it maybe then.

There would be almost zero benefit in having that temp in a ramdisk. Or the browser cache.

How much RAM do you have?

I set up a 4GB RAMdisk for Lightroom and Corel VideoStudio cache.
Saw almost zero performance benefit. So I just shut it off.
Added complexity for no performance gain.
