re: no icons on desktop, system stalls Monday, August 1, 2005 at 11:45 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ogg (274 messages posted) Just a follow-up on my specific case. I deleted the ShellIconCache file that was recommended to do in the MSKB article (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q132/6/68.asp). Bootup went fine... Icons populate fine on the desktop. But now there is no sign of the ShellIconCache file! Interesting. According to the article, I had the impression that file was supposed to regenerate or refresh.
