Custom folder icons disappear when drive letter changes
Hi all,
I don't think this is exactly related to customization, but rather maybe the way Win7 handles file paths.
Anyway, here's my problem: I have an external HD with many folders with custom icons. On my PC the drive letter which is always assigned is G. Now, when I use it on a friend's PC, which assigns drive letter E, all my custom folder icons disappear. Note that all the relevant .ico files are where they're supposed to be (inside the folders whose icons they should customize).
What am I doing wrong? I'm assuming Windows always tries to locate the icons on a G: drive, which only exists on my PC but not on my friend's (where it's E). How can I change that?
Sorry for the fairly stupid question, I'm sure it's very newbie of me, despite having switched to Win in 2004!
Thanks in advance, cheers...
