Missing Shelliconcache File
I noticed today that the desktop icons have been unstable and I checked and
there is no shelliconcache file in Windows. I've rebooted several times and the file is not rebuilding itself. Can I reinstall it from a cab file off the Win 98SE cd or is there another method? -- a( : [|]=( DaffyDŽ

Hugh, I'd tried that with no success. The KB that Ron pointed me to worked.
