My local disk is showing the "unknown" icon
My computer has been showing the unknown icon and I can't change it. This started after I upgraded from xp to 7.

Hello Jackson,
You might see if an option in the tutorial below may work to change the icon back. :)
Drive Icon - Change
That did not work
I tried every step
In that case, let's see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the listed drive option in the tutorial below, and restart the computer may. It will restore the default associations and registry entries for it.
Default File Type Associations - Restore
If that still doesn't help, then please post a screenshot showing this to see if it may be something else.

Here is a picture of the problem
Ok, thank you. Did you already try downloading and merging the .reg file for the Drive option above?
Yes that did not work
Hmm, ok. Let's see if rebuilding the icon cache may help if it may be corrupted.
Icon Cache - Rebuild
Ok I will try that, the other things I just tried will they mess up my computer?
