I have had to deal with a corrupt iconcache 3 times already this week. But this week was my first time ever having to deal with this problem. I know how to solve the problem, but I need to understand why it is happening.
It always happens after I use a 3rd party application like TextPad or AdobeReader or iTunes. For now, I've uninstalled TextPad and iTunes. But I would really like to use those applications and so I need to understand WHY this is happening - I already know how to fix it. I just don't want to have to fix it again!
