If one or more of your icons are not displaying correctly, or that your icon cache is corrupted, then you might consider rebuilding the icon cache to reset and reload the icon images into the icon cache. The Icon Cache or IconCache.db is a special database file that Windows utilizes to keep copies of each icon handy
Having to retrieve all possible icon images from hard disk and to render them dynamically can consume lots of system resources. As a result, Windows save icons it’s already retrieved in its memory. When Windows needs to draw an icon, it uses the copy from the cache instead of retrieving the icon image from the original application file. This helps in making Windows draw the icons faster.

Thank you , in the next update we will add a parameter as an option
Hello, I have a suggestion for your tool: make your app restart explorer.exe , because there are instances where the icons still won’t display correctly even after rebuilding the icon cache, and the only way is to restart explorer.exe (restarting Windows does not fix the issue, only restarting explorer.exe seems to fix this).
Is it same command?
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
I feel irritated when Windows 8.1 disturbs icons on my Desktop : desktop icons gets shuffled. First I thought it was a problem of icon spacing, but it happens even after I registry set large horizontal and vertical spacing of desktop icons. Is there a fix for it?
The right name of exe myst be ReCacheIcon
