Desktop Icons mysterious changing? Here is a cure
I call them "Chameleon" Icons because they keep changing
their appearance. What happens is that down at the area some call 'Quick
Launch' others call Taskbar, icons randomly changing their appearance and
masquerade as a different application.
Note: This changing icon problem does not seem to affect XP or Windows Server
2003.
First Objective Find:-
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Second Objective: create a String Value called Max Cached Icons
Edit (Menu), New, String Value called: Max Cached Icons Please
note:
Include spaces as shown, MaxCachedIcons is wrong
Third Objective set the value
-
Set the value of Max Cached Icons to 4096 (Range 100 to 4096 default = 500)
-
DELETE the ShellIconCache file in the \winnt folder. N.B. This is a
hidden file and it is a file not a folder
-
Log off and Log on again.
 If the MMC still
misbehaves reset the Icon, right-click, properties, Change Icon, Browse MMC.exe

Recommends: The Free Config Generator
SolarWinds' Config Generator is a free tool, which puts you in charge of
controlling changes to network routers and other SNMP devices.
Boost your network performance by activating network device features
you've already paid for.
Guy says that for newbies the biggest benefit of this free tool is that
it will provide the impetus for you to learn more about configuring the SNMP
service with its 'Traps' and 'Communities'.

The best executable to hack the registry is Regedit.
Click on the

Note The Windows 2000 /3 Regedit remembers the last place you visited which is
useful.
Free Monitor for Your Network: SolarWinds Real-time Traffic Analyzer
The main reason for monitoring your network is to check at a glance which
servers are available. If there is a network problem you
want an interface to show the scope of the problem immediately.
Even when all servers and routers are available, sooner or later you will be curious to
know who, or what, is hogging the precious network's bandwidth. A GUI
showing the top 10 users always makes interesting reading.
Another reason to monitor network traffic is to learn more about your
server's response times and the consumption of resources. To take the pain out of
capturing frames and analysing the raw data, Guy recommends that you download a copy of
the SolarWinds
free Real-time NetFlow Analyzer.
