Icon Cache In ME

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

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?


Mike, I lost your reply post, but I deleted the file you suggested
(haven't tried the registry patch yet) and rebooted; strangely enough,
it did create itself again, but this time, smaller. The original file
was 1387 KB and when recreated, 904 KB, but now the icons all come up
at the same time on a reboot. I think I'll leave well enough alone.
Thanks.

Please follow Mike M's good advice and increase your icon cache size, by
obtaining and merging the registry patch from aumha.org, as suggested.
