I suspect this is the case, too. I only recently figured out that the icons were cached when my CD showed the wrong icon on my old Win2K computer. I was really spooked since it was an icon for one of the client's competitors. Double checking showed that the CD did indeed have the correct icon and I knew that I had just recently tested the other CD on this machine. "Hmmm. Must be a cache somewhere." I didn't know about the ShellIconCache file itself until today.


Now I make sure that the icon always has a unique name. Where I used to use:

icon=folder\CD.ico

I now use something like the companies name or initials.

icon=folder\MAB_CD.ico

And, yes. Backslash \ is the correct one. Especially since autorun.inf is still stuck in the old 8.3 days (at least through Win2K, I haven't tested it for long filenames & spaces on WinXP).
