Missing iconcache.db?

[Guest Bill in Co.]

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).

Thanks. I was looking in the wrong place, and it is there. So the complete

path is:

Documents and Settings\<username>\LocalSettings\Application Data

space between "Local" and "Settings"
