Is there a limit to the Max Cached Icons


Recommended Posts


There is no known upper limit in the icon cache mechanism in xp (although 2k has a threshold of 4096)

However, there is the same problem with it as caching too many fonts within a system in that it can and will go into memory starvation dependent on loading of the core kernal and available memory to processes

rule of thumb 1024 icons per 512 mb of memory is best practice.

Good luck maz

Thanks to you two for finally replying to this (:):rolleyes::D), but Spheris, could you rephrase that last bit of advice please? Do you mean 512x1024? It can't be "per" 512Mb, since I have just that - 512Mb! :D
