What are the commands? This could be easily scripted into a bat file, list them here and I'll someone will write it into one for you
So you can just double click it to run it.
What is the problem you're having? Sometimes a new user account can fix issues like this.
Hello and Thanks for response.
Commands are these:
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A
DEL "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*" /A
shutdown /r /f /t 00
The icons problem is desktop icons all have black overlays. I have a batch file which restores them but it doesn't survive a reboot. I suspect the batch file does pretty much the same as the series of commands above does ...
There is no IconCache.db file on the machine. However Windows seems to be able to restore the icons, however temporarily, so they must be available somewhere on the system ...
I still can't understand how you can have a command prompt with Explorer stopped, as would be required to execute the list of commands above.
I don't have user accounts, I run the machine as admin.
