Icons resizing

[RiverDog]

I am finding that the icons under Games, Computer, Network, Control Panel
often change their viewing size for no apparent reason. Please let me know
what may be causing this and what I can do to ensure the icons don't resize
unless I change them.

I think this is a similar problem to the problem with windows not
remembering their dimensions. It also happens to me and is very annoying
but there doesn't seem to be a fix-all solution out there. You can try
resetting all window settings (which is explained in a thread titled "Fixed
the Folder View memory problem" on June 15) but this hasn't helped in my
situation.

I don't know about your situation but for me the Control Panel is the worst
culprit of all. I keep setting it to Large Icons and then sometime later it
goes to Small Icons or something else. Network does a similar thing.

I hope this is fixed in SP1.

The icon cache may have become corrupted.

Go to C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local and delete the following: IconCache.db

Reboot. The system will begin building up the icon cache again.

Personally Richard I don't think it's a caching issue as the icons
themselves are the correct icons and are rendered correctly (at least in my
case) - they are just the wrong size. I think it's more likely to be a
manifestation of the known issue with window settings including dimensions
and view not being remembered properly in all cases. I am not saying your
suggestion won't work (it's certainly worth a try) but I feel that the
problem can't be solved just yet.

If your experience is the same as mine, it will work - but only for a while.
Oh well, good luck!
