Hi guys,
i wanted to test the new feature in latest version 26.50.0000 called "Folder Icons Based On Content" but when I open that menu / Window there are not showing any different icons only one and the same. Below a image...

...you can see all same icons but now folder colored icons as they are in the folder. How to fix that? I'm using 26.50.0000 version. Also if I change the path and select any other icons its always displaying that one and same icon only. Strange thing is that also my Windows Explorer is showing all ICO files with that same icon but only when using the detailed view, list view and small symbol view and all other views like large do display the correctly icon. No idea what that is now. Maybe you have an idea how to fix it or whether its really a XY bug. Thanks.

There is no XY bug here, try to delete your Windows icon cache
Reboot, execute these commands from a
command prompt started with admin privileges:
Code: Select all
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
cd /d "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer"
attrib -h iconcache_*.db
del /f IconCache*
cd /d "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\"
attrib -h IconCache.db
del /f IconCache.db
start C:\Windows\explorer.exe

Looks like the ICO extension has been grabbed by some icon editor app. This should be solvable within this app.

Hi guys,
thanks for the info what to do. So I tried to delete those db cache files but it could not delete them all also not with closed explorer using the command line commands. What now? Somehow that problem is new. When I click on the ICO extension file then the Windows Image Viewer does open it. Do you have some another idea or do you know any tool what could fix that problem? So at the moment no icon gets displayed anymore in any view. Thanks.

This CMD file clears the cache.
Code: Select all
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
taskkill /f /im shellexperiencehost.exe
timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK > nul
del %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\* /q
timeout /t 2 /NOBREAK > nul
start explorer
@echo on

Hey again,
OK I got it working now to make the icon displaying again. I found some batch script which did work to delete those cache files using "del /A /F /Q" commands. Thanks again for helping guys.
