update desktop icon

[Jack Zhang]

Hi,
I tried to upgrade a product to a newer release. The
problem was that the desktop icon won't be upgraded.

I tried:
attrib -h shelliconcache
del shelliconcache

on Windows 2000 and it upgrades the icons.

However, it is not working on XP. On XP, it will return a
message like "File not found". Any suggestions?

thanks,

JZ

I searched my system - no SHELLICONCACHE. But, I did find ICONCACHE.DB

How do I get the Notification Area icons back to how they should be?
Mine are stacked 2 deep and measure 5mm x 5mm
(I have dpi set to 150%)

*Active Title* bar cannot be set to less than 31...

ok! Setting both to 40 did the trick...
(Yes, I know it's very big, but my eyes need them that way!
