    Win 7 x64, Icons refresh on every boot


    I can't seem to keep my desktop icons from refreshing on EVERY bootup. I tried all the reg hacks for Max Cached Icons such as

    Windows 7 - Increase Icon Cache Size | MyTechSupport.ca


    It's not a big deal, I don't think this should be happening.

    I use Dexpot, a multi desktop manager, but I don't think it's causing this.

    Hi.

    Dexpot i never heard of till now. Does run at startup?

    May be a conflict somewhere. I saw one comment about misaligned icons on another forum.

    cheers

    clueless crowd

    y'ever notice, when they have no answer, they ask for your system specs.

    then they ask what you had for breakfast.

    Try to tick box in folder options "Always show icons, never miniatures"
    This might help! or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer add "Max Cached Icons" at value 4096. One of these options solved issue for me.

    Sorry I missed this the last time around.

    To have desktop icons maintain their position rightclick a blank area of the desktop to Refresh.
