[Clear / Rebuild Icon Cache]

Actually yeah CCleaner really does need that feature! I'm surprised it's been around this long and lacking that one feature.

 

In the meantime a much quicker way to get the icon cache flushed and rebuilt is to switch your display card to a low color depth "16-bit" and then back to the preferred hi-res color and it will do the trick:

That's nice to know

[Clear / Rebuild Icon Cache]

I really think it would be convenient if there was an option under system or advanced options for clearing / rebuilding your computer's icon cache.

Why? When your making icons with Photoshop or any other program, after you rename a icon that has existed on your computer before and its cached, and then you create a new one with the same file name it will show as the original icon that existed first. Another use, sometimes icons for programs will show up as a blank default white page even if the program hasn't been removed, this can be quite annoying and can be fixed with clearing / rebuilding the icon cache.

 

The current work around:

 

1. Close all folders that are currently open.

 

2. Open Task Manager

 

3. End Explorer.exe

 

4. Click File > New Task (Run…)

 

5. Type CMD.EXE

 

6. Commands:

CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

DEL IconCache.db /a

EXIT

 

7. Click File > New Task (Run…)

 

8. Type EXPLORER.EXE

 

Obviously this is a bit time consuming, opening up CCleaner would be much easier then all that
