    I hope I can explain this properly. When I boot up, 90% of the time I get my Desktop icons either partially blacked out or clear with the Desktop showing through. I can quickly fix it by right clicking the screen, selecting graphic properties and then in the Intel graphics window I select Display Settings and choose the unused option (if I'm in 32 bit I would choose 16 bit) This rebuilds the cache and all looks good. I'm just tired of having to do this. Any thoughts?
    Oh, I'm running Win7 Home Premium 32 bit on a Dell Optiplex 745.

    That's not a problem with the icon cache, it's a problem with the icon used to change the overlay of the shortcut icon.

    Could simplify that a notch or two and propose a solution? Jeff

    Did you use software or a registry setting to change the shortcut icon?

    Or, simply, reverse what you did.
