Alan_B Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 ICON CACHE IS INNOCENT - PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY IT ! ! ! I tried cleaning it with the Winapp2.ini option, and as feared by myself, and as experienced my millions of others, Windows DOES NOT REBUILD AS PROMISED. The consequence of no icon cache is a 30 SECOND PENALTY EVERY TIME Windows boots up, because now it has to jump all over the hard drive so it can find icons for the desktop short-cuts. That 30 seconds may be very much longer and worse if you power up safely WITHOUT a flash drive inserted, should you happen to have a short-cut which uses an icon on the flash drive. When I check the Windows / Advanced / "Menu Order cache" option a pop-up warns "start menu reset ... custom ordering lost" I suggest that the Winapp2.ini extra of Applications / Windows / "Icon Cache*" most urgently needs a pop-up. Preferably in RED with "Critical Windows Error" music at maximum volume. ADDITIONAL The check box MUST be auto-cancelled so it will never again repeat until the option is again MANUALLY selected for a further once-only activation. Many CC users know enough to be cautious and keep out of trouble. Some think the harder they clean the shinier it will be - we get a few of them asking for help ! ! ! Some will have the Winnapp2.ini file because a friend downloaded it for them and told them it will do them good. Such people may fail to recognize that shutdown and/or start-up takes 30 seconds longer than it should because every day they have cleaned a perfect and non-bloated iconcache, and at shutdown and or startup an exact duplicate has to be recreated (if indeed their version of Windows has that ability.) My experiment did me no harm because experience has taught that Windows does not always work as it should, especially if a fall-back position has not been established, so the first thing I did before cleaning was to make a backup copy to a different partition. It has however taken me several days to investigate and reject many "snake oil" cures that are on the Internet. The solutions that worked for me will follow in a separate post yet to be composed. NB After several years and the replacement/upgrade of various programs iconcache had grown to 6,425,526 bytes. 2,112,880 bytes is my new value, but there are better ways than deleting and hoping Windows will replace it. Regards Alan p.s. why the double deletion given by FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\|IconCache.db FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\|IconCache.db should it be DetectFile=%LocalAppData%\|IconCache.db FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\|IconCache.db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 HOW TO CREATE AN ICONCACHE. Given luck and a "following wind", after iconcache is deleted then Windows will create one as good as new. Not for me though. Lots of solutions on the Internet, but they do not work for me. I started in Safe mode and logged in as myself (with my normal admin privilege), logged out and rebooted. Just to be sure I tried my luck in Safe mode and logged in as Administrator, and as expected could not see my private profile with its Iconcache.db, so I chose RUN AS ALAN to launch Windows Explorer, and was told that Run As was not valid in Safe Mode. NO CURE, even though the Internet recommended this, which is especially surprising because perhaps 3 years ago I used Safe Mode to fix something I cannot now remember, but I do remember my surprise that after the fix I compared my system partition with an image created the previous week and saw that my iconcache had shrunk in size, so I know this used to be a cure. (I often compare "present" with "past" to see any junk I might have forgotten to zap, or anything that Windows has chosen to damage). taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local attrib ?h IconCache.db del IconCache.db start explorer That did not work either ! ! ! The middle 3 lines were redundant because Winapp2.ini had already zapped IconCache.db And the first line failed because XP Home + SP3 has no taskkill, but I replaced that with tskill explorer That also failed to give me an iconcache. Use RegSeeker 1.55 click on tweaks, click on button that says ?rebuild icon cache? Gloom and misery - worse disaster yet. 81 icons all horribly repositioned in two groups, "All User" desktop then My profile desktop. and each group sorted in alphabetic sequence. Where they ought to be is one of the few things I depend upon and can still remember ! ! ! iconcache.db was NOT rebuilt by Regseeker at that time. I did not know if it was waiting for a reboot, and I did not risk further damage. I only unleashed a registry twiddler because ERUNT had just completed its automatic registry hive backup, so I felt secure - and now with undue haste I restored the registry and was relieved to see all my shortcuts where they belonged. Otherwise I would have spent 10 minutes restoring last week's Partition Image. After a reboot I observed that iconcache had been created with 2,644,008 bytes, and the shortcuts remained in the positions that had been captured by Erunt before Regseeker did its magic. Right Click on Desktop / Properties / Settings / Colour Quality 16 Bit - then apply and OK Right Click on Desktop / Properties / Settings / Colour Quality 32 Bit - then apply and OK no joy. Reboot and pray - no joy. Getting desperate now Right Click on Desktop / Properties / Settings / Colour Quality 16 Bit - then apply and OK Reboot Right Click on Desktop / Properties / Settings / Colour Quality 32 Bit - then apply and OK Reboot Deep joy, got iconcache, and I have never seen Windows start up that quickly. The iconcache.db was 1,106,590 bytes created at 11/01/2011 16:18 This was also the time when the System Event Log reports that the event log was being closed at shutdown. I shutdown at 11/01/2011 16:48 to check that my luck was holding, and when I rebooted I found The iconcache.db was 2,112,880 bytes created at 11/01/2011 16:48 No further changes to size or time stamp. Still super fast start-up. Much faster and better than the previous iconcache which over the years has grown to 6,425,526 bytes I view the Regseeker creation of 2,644,008 bytes as having 30% bloat. Just possibly that 30% bloat was caused by the ERUNT backup restoration moving 30% of the icons to previous positions and upon reboot the new iconcache remembered icons as they had been both before and after, or some other mystery of Windows. Perhaps I should have rebooted BEFORE using ERUNT to correct the positions. If you are interested, my suspicion is that the 1 MB cache held not the "current" 32 bit icons, but the 16 bit icons that had been collected upon the start up in 16 bit mode prior to reverting back to 32 bit mode, and the 2 MB cache is of course 32 bit icons. Incidentally, whilst I do not admit to ever using a dustpan and brush, I have seen them in use and can recognize them, so I recognize the "brush" icon that is provided as part of the set that CCleaner provides. I have a shortcut to CCleaner variant, and to remind me I rarely wish to use it I changed the icon to brush. This Brush icon is the only one that benefits from 32 bits - in 16 bit mode it has streaky colours and the background boundary is a little blocky. I can see no change in 32 bit or 16 bit mode on the 80 other icons on my desktop. If I ever need an extra 1 MB of free space I know what to do ! ! !

Alan_B Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 TLDR I have no such issue when I use clean icon cache from winapp2 I hear you. It is too long and I wish I had not needed the experience. I think my post timed at 10:04 PM might be essential for any Winapp2.ini user who hits the same problem, especially if unlike myself they did not anticipate the problem and make a backup copy. I would be happy to see that post moved as a separate topic, perhaps in a different Piriform forum, with a link from this topic for the benefit of future victims of sundry bugs that affect the ability of the O.S. to generate iconcache.db.

siliconman01 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Having CCleaner delete the Icon Cache will result in subtle problems with some programs. This is on Windows 7 x64 Professional and Windows 7 x86 Professional. For example, jv16 PowerTools has a debug option that stores a debug HTML on the desktop each time the jv16 program is executed IF the debug option is set active. If CCleaner has deleted IconCache.db, the icon for the jv16 debug HTML will not show up. A user has to right click on the desktop and select Refresh. Then the debug icon will appear. A system reboot will also expose the debug HTML icon. However, running CCleaner again with the icon cache cleaning set active will result in the same failure.

TheWebAtom Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 pepe2; I don't think this is possible with CCleaner, however it might be possible to write a vbscript to do this. Basically; it would involve: 1: Find all the installed versions of the app. 2: Strip all the period's from the version number on the directory name. 3: Compare all the version numbers, then delete all but the highest. Before I code this up, someone had better read over above steps to make sure I've not missed any obvious faults. I am quite tired hahaha I'm Shane.

Basically; it would involve: 1: Find all the installed versions of the app. 2: Strip all the period's from the version number on the directory name. 3: Compare all the version numbers, then delete all but the highest. Before I code this up, someone had better read over above steps to make sure I've not missed any obvious faults. I am quite tired hahaha I would suggest a simple batch script that detects the most recent folder and trashes all the other folders. Whatever is done, it might be wise to make it stand-alone. No sense wasting time trying to RE-delete all the ancient versions every time CCleaner is run. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
