Hello Noel,

An 'appy one to you.

All unhidden, Noel. Always these days. ( F and F i.e. in Folder Opts.)

I have a large shell32.dll which gets a mention in queer places on a
Google
search. Its 2.7MBs. of goobledegook though.

I realised it was missing when I today combed through my
system-as-current
for the assorted tweaks I once had in place (removed at the last F and I
in
the Autumn - most replaced). One of which dealt with... well here is a
link:
http://www.beemerworld.com/tips/maxthrash.htm I forgot that one so
went
through and did it again except for the file in question.

I have a 12sec boot-up as per Bootlog Examiner but my desktop shortcuts
which have my created-from-bmp images always flash a couple of times as
Windows finishes loading. I keep these in a My Docs folder - "Icons".

So did you know, Noel, that WinME can live without its ShellIconCache!!?
Or
I am becoming... older and dafter?

Glad you are working but its a bit late for you now - yes?

Cheers.

Ben.

It should be in the Windows folder, Ben - it is probably Hidden (and may

be
a System file) so check your Folder Options accordingly

Hello,

I cannot find the ShellIconCache file? either on my system or on my

WinME
CD. Although I have no problem with my computer I would appreciate
some
input as to the significance (or otherwise) of this missing item.

Thank you.

Ben.
