Each time I change an Icon using propertities, I have to type the correct path in the browse window. (C:\Windows\System32\Shell32.dll). I had 3 hours help from a pro, but could not locate the ShellConCache, or ShellCache in Windows xp.
Is there afix short of a full system restore?

It's a hidden file - IconCache.db

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data
in each user's Local Settings\Application Data folder
