re: no icons on desktop, system stalls Sunday, July 31, 2005 at 8:35 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ogg (274 messages posted) Yes.. not knowing that SafeMode would help, I would boot to SafeMode to atleast run Scandisk and assure myself that the computer can still boot! Then.. booting into regular mode seemed to work! However.. the next time I would need to bootup the computer, the "no icons" problem would be back. Meanwhile, I performed the "Max Cached Icons" Key value suggest by MSKB (making the DWORD = 2000) as well as switching between 16bit and 32bit and back again. And before I just down the computer for the night, I will delete the ShellIconCache file. I've learned that another symptom of the problem is the seemingly random or sudden change of icons to another image! That was happening on my sytem too - but interestingly only on a handful (not more than 5) icon at a time.
