The icons that Windows uses for programs are saved in an icon cache, so they can be displayed quickly instead of having to slowly load them every time.
I would imagine the Windows solution is to rebuild the icon cache. I'm sure I've done that in the long distant past... back when I was using Windows 2000 on a PC.
Hi!
Yes it seems that there is no checking in the different cache files if there could something be deleted.
So the cache grows all the time and contains ancient files.
As you talk about Win2000 I just remembered that we once had a big problem with the font cache of Win95:
The maximum then was 64k and if you installed a new font and had reached the font cache limit the font did not appear.
Solution: Delete some unused fonts, delete the font cache and reboot.
Perhaps also here is the solution to delete the icon cache. Will be rebuild after the next reboot.
