Re: Icon Cache - Rebuild

Hello Agent47, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Rebuilding the icon cache may help if the icon has only been loaded incorrectly into cache. Rebuilding will have Vista reload the icon again to see if that is the problem or not.

However, you might be able to use the tutorial below to manually change the icon for the .xml (xmlfile) file extension to the one you wanted.

File Extension Type Icon - Change

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hello Frinktastic, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Not sure what type of problem you are having since you did not ask a question, but it looks like you need to restore the shortcut arrow overlay icon back to default from your image.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Icon Cache - Rebuild

Shawn,

I use Vista 32 Ultimate SP2 on a client on a domain. The My Documents are are moved to a network share and set up to sync by policy (so I get the green spiral on each document icon). It has worked fine for 2 years. Recently when I open my documents, the green spiral overlay is something different (random stuff). If I close My Documents and re-open, the green spiral is back and all is normal. Doesn't always happen.

Have you seen this before? Any suggestions on how to fix? I did delete the icon cache....

Thanks,

Charlie

Hello Charlie, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Sorry, I have not seen this before. However, you might see if refreshing (F5) the window may help instead of having to close and reopen it. If this happens again, could you post a screenshot of it before and after?
