icon cache DB size

[vinifera]

I have increased in registry size for icon cache db to 2 MB

but I see that it grew beyond that

the Admin (default account) - which I don't use, has db of 2.6 MB

and my account has 8.2 MB size

is this.. bug or normal ?

I'm not experiencing any Icon corruption yet

but shouldn't reg setting limit its size ?

Maybe your account has seen and enumerated many more icons?

How did you restrict its size? I know of registry entry "Max Cached Icons" which restricts by number of icons. Then you'd need to take account of individual icon sizes...

And, if the Admin acount is rarely used, it has definitely seen less icons. Try cleaning (deleting) both icon caches.

yes that one reg entry

been digging on google few sites, some of them say that XP by default has max value of 500

I set it up to 2048 value

I'll delete db's then and report back, but still it smells bad

As far as I know, it restricts the number of icons in the cache, not its size in kilo/megabytes.

I once counted on a computer with many programs installed, it had around 500 icons.
