Fearing my icon cache was corrupt, and following advice I read elsewhere
that if I deleted iconcache.db Windows would rebuild it, I accordingly
deleted it. XP Home has not rebuilt it, although the computer seems to be
working find
e without it. How can I get it back?

Click to expand...

Switch the color depth between 32 and 16 bit and then back.
Then reboot or relogin. The iconcache.db is back.
But usually it will disapprear again soon... I gave up and
live without it.

Hi Walt,

The file can't be rebuilt manually. The system automatically creates/updates this file whenever necessary. Give it a few days time to see if the file is rebuilt.
