Missing iconcache.db?

Interestingly, this cache file has recently disappeared for me, and no
matter what I do, I can't get it back, which seems a bit strange.

Yes, I know it's a hidden file, and I've tried the various tricks like
switching video resolutions and rebooting - to get it back, etc, but all to
no avail.

I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has the same issue of no
iconcache.db. Keep in mind it's a hidden file, so unless you have your
system set up to show hidden files, you'll never see it.

This file is a hidden file, that normally lurks in:
Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data,
and stores the icons.

But so far, it doesn't seem to be presenting a big problem. Apparently the
icons are being cached somewhere else, as I don't get the usual symptoms of
no icon cache (like after booting up and going to Ctrl Panel, and having to
wait for the normal icons there to appear).

"Local Settings"

Thanks. I was looking in the wrong place, and it is there. So the complete
path is:
Documents and Settings\<username>\LocalSettings\Application Data
