Looking at the file size of some Icons, it is not surprising that Overflows can occur - for example the Icon for the Samsung KiesLite shortcut has a file size of 504Kb !!! Even the basic windows 'Folder' Icon is just over 52Kb and the AVG Icon is just short of 84Kb. Others of course are quite small - only a few Kb. It would seem that a default size of 500Kb for the 'IconCache.db' file is a little on the mean side !!
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I follow this I can't find icon cache.
Just curious. Wanted to see what mind was set at.Code:"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MaxCachedIcons
If you cannot see that entry, then IconCache.db file size is set to the default size of 500Kb. It can be set to a larger limit by adding the new key as described above and setting its value to say 1024 (1Mb) or 2048 (2Mb) or 4096 (4Mb) etc.
You're welcome !!
