I’m trying to write small tool for folder icon changing in Vista. There is a problem: I don't know how to update icon cache.

I set desktop.ini parameter: IconResource=IconFile,IconIndex
Than set hidden + system attribute for desktop.ini.
Than set read only attribute for folder.
In WinXP after pressing F5 icon is changed, in Vista icon doesn't changed.

So I decided ask the professionals, can you help me?
