Icons Slow to Redraw

[Trent]

Hi,

When I close an active window on my desktop, all my icons disappear for
brief second, but then take many seconds to come back up. I'm wondering if
a cache setting or something has got changed or something.

Just wondering if anyone knows how I could speed this redraw time back up?

I've tried using TweakUI to rebuild the icons, but it doesn't help.

Thanks for any help!

You could try deleting the IconCache.db file in C:\Documents and
Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data. It will be rebuilt.

I tried this...it hasn't helped. I'm wondering if maybe a program or
something has decreased the cache size or something making this take so
long. Is there a setting somewhere that I could increase or something?

Thanks!
