Solved Taskbar Icon Change Issue

[MourningStar]

I am experimenting with different icons for certain apps and functions. However, although the icon in the properties dialogue updates, the icon in the taskbar does not. The only way I know of to see the changed icon is to restart the computer. This is annoying. Is there a way I can update/refresh/etc. the taskbar w/o restarting the computer in order to see the changed icons?

(fwiw, I am using one of Mark's custom themes)

-thnx

Hello MourningStar,

You might see if restarting explorer instead may work. If you like, the tutorial below adds "restart explorer" to the desktop context menu to make it easier to use.

Hope this helps.

Well, so much for easy. I suppose you could see if signing out and in may work. Not has convenient, but better than restarting if it does work.

Could it be a iconcache problem? Does logout then login rebuild it?
