Hi Katy,

Go to Windows Explorer\Documents and Settings\User Name\
Local Settings\Application Data (hidden file). In the right pane:
IconCache.db

To clear your cache: Right click the Desktop/Properties/Appearance/
Advanced/Icons. Change the pixel by one number apply/ok. Revert.

To increase Icon Cache:
