I have found several techniques to rebuild icon cache however almost all of them cannot interact with desktop from user that is logged in. I have some SCCM like software that installs software under system account.

1) kill explorer + start explorer > works for all user sessions

2) ie4uinit -cleariconcache > no impact on logged in user desktop session

3) SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, NULL, NULL) > no impact on logged in user desktop session

Is there a less abrupt way than option 1 to rebuild icon cache for all current desktop sessions ?

Nope. And you actually need to delete the icon db when you kill explorer

I know, just too lazy to type the whole procedure :sweating:

OK, so killing explorer it is then...
