    Can anyone tell me whether there is still such a thing as a "ShellIconCache" File in Windows XP, or whether the name has now changed? :confused:

    In Windows XP, it's IconCache.db in each user's \Local Settings\Application Data folder.

    Repair it with TweakUi for Windows XP.

    I have been unable to change the Icons for certain File Types.

    Repaired with TweakUI and re-booted.

    Did not help.

    Deleted the IconCache File you mentioned and re-booted.

    Did not help.

    I notice also that even though I correct the default read speed for my CD Burner, it reverts to 4x after re-boot.

    When I think back, I heard Windows XP described by one person as "Garbage ", and I am fast coming to believe this.

    If only it were even half as good as Windows ME. :)

    Facetious, presumably.
