Re: OT: Desktop icons vanishing. How to get rid of them?

Happens regularly on a Win2K machine: Coming out of hibernate of even
standby about 80% of the desktop icons are replaced by the generic
Windows logo. When I go into properties for each it's still there but I
guess Windoze messes that up. Why doesn't that surprise me? When I
reboot they come back but that takes too much time during the day. Icons
are IMHO just decoration anyhow and superfluous. Can one get completely
rid of them?

I've occasionally seen that sort of thing certainly with XP and maybe even W98.

Get yourself a copy of cacheman (cache manager). It's free. It allows you to
tweak the icon cache value easily. I imagine that's how I fixed it but it was
ages back so I've forgotten the details.
