>Since I have upgraded to VS 2005, I see that all the projects I have converted to it are being shown with an icon with the number 8. However, this only starts to show like that after a reboot. Anyone has found a way to have that refreshed automatically or by the use of a manual operation?

Michel,

I suppose you could restart explorer.exe to make it refresh. Maybe there's a less drastic way to force explorer to clear out it's icon cache.
