Posted on Aug 19, 2008

Sometimes icons does not appear correctly in Windows Vista because they get corrupted. This can be rectified by rebuilding the Icon Cache. In order to rebuild the icon cache we'll first have to delete it so that windows will rebuild it upon a system reboot.


Here's how you can do this>>>

• First Enable Show hidden files and folders.
  
• Open up My Computer
• Navigate to %systemdrive%\Users\"your User Name"\AppData\Local
• Look for IconCache.db and delete it permanently even from the Recycle Bin
  
• Reboot your system.
• Now you have your Icon Cache rebuilt and any corrupted icons that you might had should get corrected.
