Glad to see Alan was able to sort you out, Ben.

Alan - nice catch! - didn't realise that that could be a problem!

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?

...Alan

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.
