IconCache.db

Hi all
I want to change the path with IconCache.db to my ramdisk drive.
But i can't find the path in the registry.
Is there another way to change the path?

Thanks
Kiros

Kiros,

I don't know if you can specify the cache file location in registry. I always thought it must be under "\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data" profile directory which you can move by changing the reg path string "AppData"
under [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders].

Also, you can set the limits on the icon cache so that it does nt grow too much:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer],"MaxCachedIcons" REG_SZ. The valid data range is between 100 and 4096.
