This is my First self-written Programm.
It deletes the IconCache.db and Restarts the Explorer.
You must Start it in Administration Mode.

I have to say some things:
The IconCache.db is responsible for the Icons that you exchange.
That means if You replace an Icon of an shurtcut it wont be changed immediately. You have to delete the iconcach.db for that mannually.
I have to give some people here right, who say that you can use CCleaner or such programms.
BUT, many of those programms aren´t freeware and/or overloaded.
This is just an help for an simply Job you can also do manually but not so easy.
Yeah this programm is a little bit Pointless and you can do all those Jobs mannualy but its my first Application and I only wanted to solve my own personal problems easier.
I want you to have an simple, portable, freeware and not overloaded Application for this Progress
No the IconCache.db wont be rebuild. It only will be deleted. But the IconCache will be "rebuild". (I say that cause Iconcache deleter sounds like this Application is going to destroy your icon Cache )

Icon tray of Avira and Avira Launcher 2016 is resolved!
Start it eand clean cache... and the Avira icon will appear
Tested with Win10x64. More trouble with that system as in previous versions from MS ~
Only one point. I see backups created automatically. Function to disable exist or its process based and not possible? (without an extra delete function) Maybe with checkbuttons or so...
Thats my only suggestion. It's good as it is ;]

o meu muito obrigado.
I have problems with my shortcuts icons, I've white rectangular forms in stead of my icons (folder + windows media). I tested the program, and i worked ... but .. I've the problem again. Who can help me ? ^^
Thx anyway, this is great !

And eluvator, it is rebuilding because when the explorer process restarts, explorer automatically rebuilds iconcache.db.
And fedia, being the windows enthusiast that you are, you outta support those who are not power users by supporting programs like this. The UI is simple and to the point despite following the three button trend. If it had two buttons, he would have to sacrifice the backup delete button, which wouldn't make sense because a novice user wouldn't be able to delete them without step by step instructions. And if it had four buttons, what else would you put? Everybody says make a backup of everything, so, this program follows suit.
thankyou.
microsoft visual studio has all those options...
but i think rainmeter uses something way more primitive, not sure what though. seems like xml files.
