Kolagen,
Did you restart the computer after rebuilding the icon cache. It may take a tiny bit, but the IconCache.db file should be recreated automatically by Windows 7 the next time it loads any icons.
black desktop icons - rebuilding icon cache doesn't help permanently

Brink do you mean that I should restart twice?
Computer restarts by default after running bat script.
IconCashe.db must be there but it's not.

It's geting really weird ! This morning before rebuilding Icon Cashe i looked for IconCashe.db.
I found that it was created last night on logof,and it is without .db extension.
I renamed it to IconCashe.db and restarted-nothing happened.
When i opened hidden folder there it was another IconCashe along with old renamed one.
So i started bat script, icons are restored on desktop but there is no new IconCashe.db ,just the old one ?
Is there any solution for this?

Kolagen,
It sounds like you may not have your known file extenstions set to show. If set to be hidden, then that would be why you are not seeing the .db file extension. :)
File Extensions - Hide or Show

Hi Brink
I changed option to ¨show¨but only result i got is old file named IconCahe.db.db.
Old problem still remain.

I did,but question remains-where is newly created IconCashe.db?
And,of course,why my desktop icons disappear after restart?

Unless you have a different language version of Windows 7 installed, you are misspelling IconCache.db (correct) with IconCashe.db (incorrect). It will not work if misspelled in Windows Explorer at the hidden location below.
C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\IconCache.dbAs for the desktop icons, you never confirmed if refreshing (F5) the desktop had them display afterwards or not.

I misspelled only in my post ,otherwise they are named OK.
And no ,refreshing(f5) did not help.
