Change Icon Cache Size in Windows XP Pro

[Sam]

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro installed and
512mb of RAM memory. In the past when using windows 98, you could change
the Icon Cache size in the registry. Can this be done in windows XP Pro,
and if so, I would very much appreciate a list of procedures in
accomplishing this task. Thanks for any help, Sam.

P.S. the reason for my interest, is that when I open or close a large
folder, especially My Computer, the icons on the desktop will flicker and
redraw most of the time. I did upgrade the NVIDIA driver to ver 53.03 and
it did help some, but not significantly.

AFAIK, you can still do this. The old Activicons freeware seems still
to work on my XP systems, so you might try that -
