Why did the drive icon change?? How?

Can someone please explain why one of my harddrive ICONS decided to change itself right out of the clear-blue?

How do I change it back? I recall using an onboard facility in the past to set it as I had it but danged if I can find the bugger now

Hello Idahjo,

This may be able to help you change the drive icon back. Check the last item listed in the TIP box at that link first to see if that may be what it is before manually changing the icon.

Drive Icon Change

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I know I am going to kick myself for asking, but what is a "TIP box"? (Guess a guy has to admit he doesn't know anything before he can learn something... huh?)
Thanks Brink

No problem Idahjo. It will be the yellow box titled "Tip" at that link.

Good Grief, I knew I would regret asking that... I was looking all around my COMPUTER for "TIP' (sure glad I asked for my REP-s to be removed)

Thanks Brink, the AUTO RUN was removed form the drive like explained in the Tip on the tutorial and it is BACK AS-WAS!

Before we lay this to rest...

I think I should say that before I posted "what is TIP?", I searched the acronymfinder.com and found:



hmmm... "Probably correct"
