Icon Cache?

[Dick Lewis]

Kelly has an iconcache.vbs on her site, sets it to 12000:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp.htm

Or you can try this one:
http://home.stny.rr.com/dicklewis/iconcache.reg

Scan it for virus first, click Edit to see what it does, if you merge to
Registry,
you will get four settings. Open Windows Explorer|Tools|Options:|Advanced
should be at bottom. You will have four choices of size, mine is set to
Huge (12000), because IconCache.db is almost 14mb now. May have to
adjust .reg file.

TTFN,
Dick

Do you happen to know the line number for this fix. I swear that I ran it
once already and when I went to look for it again, it was missing. I wonder
if one of the recent Microsoft updates made it go away? I haven't done a
system restore of anything and cannot think of a reason why I lost it.
Thanks in advance,
Carolyn

Is there a setting for the icon cache in XP Home? How can I find out
if it is adequate for my uses and how do I increase it if I need to?

Thanks

Fix your date ... you're a month ahead of the rest of the world!

 

[W. J. Newton]

Your computer date is one month ahead of the rest of the planet. You should
correct it as this can cause BIG problems for you.

Jeff;
You are posting from the future. Daylight Savings Time went away last night at Midnight.
You move the clock back an hour not ahead a month. Spring forward, Fall back. )

To change your computer's time and time zone:
1.. Open Date and Time in Control Panel. Or right click the Clock/Adjust Date-Time.
2.. On the Date & Time tab, select the item you want to change.
a.. To change the hour, double-click the hour, and then click the arrows to increase
or decrease the value.
b.. To change the minutes, double-click the minutes, and then click the arrows to
increase or decrease the value.
c.. To change the seconds, double-click the seconds, and then click the arrows to
increase or decrease the value.
d.. To change the AM/PM indicator, select it, and then click the arrows.
3.. To change your time zone, click the Time Zone tab. In the box above the map, click
the drop-down arrow, and then click your current time zone.
Notes
a.. Windows uses the time setting to identify when files are created or modified.
b..If you want your computer's clock to be adjusted automatically when daylight saving
time changes, make sure the Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes check
box is selected. This setting is located on the Time Zone tab.
c.. Most computer clocks are regularly synchronized with a network time server (if you
are a member of a domain) or an Internet time server (when you connect to the Internet).

Don't forget the one included in XP.
Explorer/tools / folder options/view/
advanced settings.

Scroll down to the end of the list and there's a choice
of sizes for the icon cache.

I am running XP Home and did go to Explorer/tools / folder
options/view/advanced settings, but there is no such setting in my advanced
settings box. Could this be something in XP Pro but not in XP Home?

I did not find it in pro either.
