Marztabator Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 At the moment I have it set to 32768. Does XP take notice of this or not? Am I asking for too much here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Marztabator, if nobody has replied, it means nobody knows or is willing to experiment with the icon cache settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Did a bit of research on google. It appears the max size you can set is 4096, which is 4.096 MB (or 4.1MB to round it off).You won't need to adjust this value unless you start getting corrupted icons.

Spheris Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 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 processesrule of thumb 1024 icons per 512 mb of memory is best practice.Good luck maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean 512x1024? It can't be "per" 512Mb, since I have just that - 512Mb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spheris Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 roughly it means 2mb per 512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marztabator Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 How exactly do I change my cache size in XP? I don't feel very familiar to this practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
