SYMPTOMS
Some icons in My Computer, Windows Explorer, on the desktop, or
in the Quick Launch toolbar may randomly change.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the icon cache is not properly
updated.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry
Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the
"Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or
the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data"
Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry
before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update
your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).
To resolve this behavior, use one or more of the following
methods:
a.. Press the F5 key to refresh the icons in the current
folder.
b.. Close and then reopen a window that contains incorrect
icons.
c.. Restart your computer.
d.. Delete the ShellIconCache file. This file is re-created
automatically when you restart Windows. To delete this file, use the
following steps:
1.. Restart Windows in Safe mode. To do so, follow the steps
in the appropriate section below:
Windows 95
Restart your computer. When you see the "Starting Windows
95" message, press the F8 key, and then choose Safe Mode from the Startup
menu.
Windows 98
Restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key
after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and then choose
Safe Mode from the Startup menu. For more information about Windows 98

2.. Use Windows Explorer to delete the ShellIconCache file
from the Windows folder. To do so right-click the ShellIconCache file, and
then click Delete.
NOTE: You need to be able to view hidden files to see the
ShellIconCache file. To view hidden files in Windows 95, click Options on
the View menu in Windows Explorer, click Show All Files, and then click OK.
To view hidden files in Windows 98, click Folder Options on the View menu in
Windows Explorer, click the View tab, click Show All Files, and then click
OK.
3.. Restart your computer
e.. Using Registry Editor, add the "Max Cached Icons" (without
quotation marks) string value with a value data of "500" (without quotation
marks) to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
and then restart your computer. If the icons are still
incorrect, delete the ShellIconCache file. The Max Cached Icons value data
range is between 100 and 2000. The default value is 500.
