Windows 7 folder icons cache doesnt refresh when icon changed?

Question

I updated my .exe icon, but the new icon doesn't show up in the folder. Only way to make it work is to create new folder and copy the .exe file there.

How do I tell Windows 7 to refresh the cached icons?

You will need to delete your Icon Cache and reboot.
