Wesley: Are you published anywhere or have a web site with such info on
it?
Nope, just some folders on my machine full of all kinds of stuff. ;-)

When I start XP Sp2 my desktop icons take maybe 20 seconds to "color
up" and his happens almost one at a time. I have 2GB ram and AMD64
4000 so why does not happen?
I have increased the icon cache but this made no difference. Does
the icon cache get used for UNOPENED and UNSEEN icons? if this
point is significant how can I check the number of icons I have?

Aha, thanks again Wesley! Norton will do that for me, but as usual I've
never been able to figure out what it does to "refresh" the icons!
Great tip!
Wesley: Are you published anywhere or have a web site with such info on
it? Just curious. You're a wealth of niche information!
