Question about 'All of my desktop icons just became corrupted - what do I do?'

I have a question about All of my desktop icons just became corrupted - what do I do?:

I thought this may be a published solution to a problem I am having. To delet the shelliconcash is not the solution to my problem but the problem may be related. My Desktop ICONs have a dedicated arrangement that can't be changed unless AutoArrange is used. The problem occurs in the personal desk top profiles the default (Cancel at Login) is ok. Is there something different when using personal profiles?

See if this fixes it with a setting of 2000: Icons Randomly Change to Different Icons

I tried your process both under KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. There is no effect on the location of the ICONs or the capability to remember where they were when I shut down. Thanks for the try! I've been at this for some time! I've even formated a second hard drive and reloaded everthing which works for a while but sooner or later the problem comes back. By the way the problem is only under one user profile the other user profiles are fine!
