Hello flogit,

You might see if rebuilding the icon cache may help.

If not, then you may be able to use OPTION THREE in the tutorial below to change the icon back to the default icon with the path below.

C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,-36

Thanks I did look into your tips,but failed.Tried the ''auto rebuild icon cache''.No luck.Then went on to the option one

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/65828-drive-icon-change.html.Didn't quite understand that it was a bit to techy for me,It asked to create new folder and name it autorun.inf got to that then is asked to copy the 'ico' of the drive required to change,Got lost there.
Thanks maybe you can make it a little easier for me.Looking a bit on the black side at the moment.
Would appreciate any further help if possible PLEASE.
many thanks.

I wouldn't recommend using an autorun.inf file for you C: drive for now. Go ahead and delete it, and also do OPTION TWO along with OPTION THREE still set, then restart the computer to see if that may help.

Sorry but my registry dont look the same as the images.
Will get back to you later.
Thanks.

 

[Brink]

No problem. You'll need to scroll down past the listed file extensions until the alphabetical order starts over before you will see the Classes key. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Blink,Many thanks for the info.But sorry to say no luck.
What a pain in the rear this has been,Its not constant fault.Even tried scannow/sfc nothing doing,I'll keep digging later on it looks heavy rain fall here today.
Thanks.

As a test, download and merge the .reg file below, and restart the computer to see if it may help restore the default Windows drive icon for drive letter C.

 

[flogit]

Brink,that was brilliant.I don't know how much I can thankyou for that,Now if this does happen again is there any way that I can save that little piece of reg restore.
Thanks very very much,I'm in you debt.
many thanks.

 

[Brink]

You're most welcome. That's great news. I figured that a mistake may have just been made while doing the tutorial since the .reg file was just OPTION THREE done automatically for this for you.

Brink.Sorry to get back to you,Since we played about yesterday the C drive icon is okay,But now when I insert an usb pendrive or an SD card a box used to popup asking what I want to do.Now that box dont appear.I have to go to my computer and select the sd card etc.
Can you please help here?

Maybe this may work. Try step 2 in option one.
