Can anyone tell me why the file keeps growing like this when I'm not
adding any programs or icons to the system? Could the icon cache in

replacing them?

Until you brought up the subject, it never occurred to me to check the
icon cache.

It still doesn't occur to me to check it.

Why would you be concerned about a file that takes up only a few
megabytes on your drive??

You've got nothing better to do?
