Desktop icons have a strange overlay

MSRadell:
I certainly appreciate the feedback and the work you spent looking into the situation.  It's just like Microsoft to go screwing with something that actually works instead of fixing things that don't!

Shane:
I am still going to be looking into it and see what I can find. I did all the normal stuff of looking for registry changes, using process monitor to see all the files and registry keys hit, I found no errors anywhere. I found the dll used to make the start menu and tore into it and could a cleanup command and some others but no way to call them.

So I have a few more tricks up my sleeve to see what I can find. Right now I just want to find WHERE it is storing the cache for it. I am also curious if deleting the cache file or it got corrupted that it simply doesnt make a new one. Wouldn't surprise me, I remember when windows 8 would have all the app installs fail because a folder it needed was missing (Instead of just creating the folder lol)
