Works perfectly for me. Thank You!
Hi, In our tests the program was able to replace bad icons from the cache without any problems, the biggest advantage of the program was that it did not restart explorer. Once you have tried the program, we would appreciate it if you would let us know the results.
However, if you continue to have problems with icon views, there may be a problem with your system.
I end-up having to rebuild my icon cache fairly often, but after having googled the issue repeatedly over the years, I now have a v. simple batch file that does this automatically… All it does however is stop explorer, delete iconcache* files from the Local App Data and restart explorer.
• Does Rebuild Icon Cache do more than this?
• Would I benefit from using Rebuild Icon Cache?
Thanks
Can you update this as rexplorer?
