GimieGimieGimie Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Now, i'm very new to this board, and haven't had much time to check which subjects/topics have already been covered that could answer my question but here goes:Can someone tell me how to disable the icons constantly wanting to refresh everytime a window is maximized or minimized.I would also like to know the reason for such a stupid function, as it only results in major slows downs of graphics reloading.Many thanksGimie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Well first off, the rebuilding ov your icons is sort of a standared thing....the slowing effect might be casue by your hardware....Can you give us your hardware config? that might be the reason.Also, if you want to modify the intervals in which they do rebuild, you can use a program by the name of X-Setuphttp://www.xteq.com/downloads/#xsetits a pretty decent tweak app, and has many fuctions more then the one you mentioned.Goodluck-Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Keefer Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Increasing your icon cache might help. Here's a registry tweak , be sure to back up registry first.Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, called "Max Cached Icons" and set it to "8192". This will increase the icon cache to 8MB (8192kb). Note: I have mine set @ 2000 and that setting did the job so you might try a smaller value first.Restart Windows for the change to take effect. Registry Settings System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]Value Name: Max Cached IconsData Type: REG_SZ (String Value)Value Data: 8192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piaqt Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Try tweakui (MS XP powertoys) or x-teq 6.2. (xteq.com's kinda slow--get it from http://www.majorgeeks.com). They're each free, and have clear/rebuild iconcache settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
