It is in imageres.dll, icon group#32

Edit : There is the appropriate one .....

Drive Icon - Change

**koolkat77** · 06 Jan 2012

is there an easier way to do this

Arc · 06 Jan 2012

You said that you have tried Icon Cache - Rebuild . As the next step,
run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker .

If it failed, there is another way , not that easy though, Icons - Change Using Resource Hacker .

If SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker fails, better you let us know, we will suggest you the next step.

BTW, you are using 32 bit windows. Is it SP1 installed or not ?
