Because a workstation can access information from RAM faster than it can from a hard drive, it copies file information to a temporary location in memory. When the operating system needs access to a file, it checks the cache first, loading the file quickly if it's in cache or physically reading the file from the hard drive if it's not. The icon cache works much the same way. Rather than physically accessing XP's Iconcache.
By default, Windows XP doesn't reserve a lot of memory for icon caching. By sacrificing a little bit of RAM, you can speed up perceived workstation performance. Speeding things up You'll make the changes in the system registry. In the right pane, look for the value named Max Cached Icons. If the value exists, it's probably set to , which is the default value for the key.
To change the value, double-click it. You'll then see the Edit String screen.
