Use find file to find ShellIconCache and delte it. It is a hidden file so make sure 
you check unhide hidden (not system) files in file properties in the control panel. 
Then re-boot your computer. ShellIconcache can hide viruses and become corrupt so 
it is as well to fit Delindex and to use the delta command (C:\Delindex.bat delta) 
in your task scheduler to clear the system every time you re-boot. If you use SpyBot, 
RegCleaner 4.3, Delindex and Diskeeper Lite v7.0 you should re-gain a lot of performance 
too.
