    I noticed that my Icons seem to be refreshing often and not too nippy... so I searched for a fix... I used the MaxCachedIcons D_WORD 2048 registry hack but since doing so they seem to be even slower? I deleted that reg entry then rebooted and its still the same? just when I view "All Programs" in start menu all the programs listed at top icons are slower to load and I have Admin Tools on star menu too and when I mouse over that they take 1 second each to load, all 14 of them - even if I close it then go straight back

    why is this happening?
    is there a fix?


    cheers
