Guest Anton Jansen Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Some months ago I presented this problem but it was never resolved. When I boot up the desktop icons 're-paint', not refresh, themselves completely. After 4 days of intensive research I found the following. When booting up, in a few instances the desktop icons refresh themselves. This is very rapid but is noticeble because is happens about 3 to 6 times. This is while the system is loading the start up items during bootup. One one occassion however, the screen is 're-painted' about three times and is a slow process compared with a 'refresh'. I have done selective bootups via 'msconfig' and found the problem. There is a file which loads from startup named CICache.exe When this loads the problem is obvious. Please tell me why, if I need this file and how to get rid of it in 'startip' list.
Guest Ron Badour Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Re: Desktop Icons Bootup Problem I did not find a definitive answer as to what the file is used for. What I would do is disable it in msconfig.exe, startup tab and see if anything complains because it is not being loaded at boot. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Anton Jansen" <AntonJansen@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7D267760-9226-46A4-9E1F-FFCED48E3F77@microsoft.com... > Some months ago I presented this problem but it was never resolved.

I've been through a lot of them, and nobody seems to know where the file comes from. I *have* seen other mentions of icon arrangement getting messed up in connection with the file. -- Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Re: Desktop Icons Bootup Problem You get rid of the startup command by editing the Registry. Run MSCONFIG from the Start>Run box. Look on the Startup tab for CICache.exe, then look to see what the "Location" is. Then run REGEDT32 and navigate to that location, find the CICache.exe entry and delete it. (Best to Export the Registry Key to save a copy, before editing it.) -- Gary S.

Nope. Didn't even try. The OP should've Googled his file and done that first. I don't even know why I bothered to do THAT much for him.

All too often, an obvious newb is given a "fix" that involves playing around in the registry. Not cool, UNLESS that is the only fix.
Guest Anton Jansen Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Desktop Icons Bootup Problem Thanks to all for your help. For those of you who do not know where this file comes from, read on. "Uncle Grumpy" pointed me in the right direction, see his first link. The file CICache.exe without doubt comes with software for multi card readers. I unloaded the software and it got rid of the registry entry and the file ! This file can cause havoc with your display, avoid it !
