HDD icon

Duplo · 15-March-07, 02:24 PM

I give up!!
About a year ago I installed Virtual Clone Drive and uninstalled it not long after.
Today I have just fitted a new SATA HDD. It has appeared quite correctly as drive F: but instead of having the usual HDD icon it has the virtual clone icon (a picture of an annoying sheep!)
How can I reset the icon back to the default?
I've already tried making a shortcut to the drive to see where the icon was stored and I've deleted it... but the damn thing's still there even after a refresh....
Help me OB1... Anyone!

My hard drive is back!!!

Found that in another thread, give it a shot.

Try this (assuming you're using XP)

Double click on My Computer
Goto Tools - Folder Options
Click on the File Types tab
Up near the top of the stack of registered file types, you should see:
(NONE) Drive with a little drive icon next to it.
Highlight that line and click the Advanced button
Then you are able to change the Icon for Removable Drives.

Thanks Guys... Back to normal.
