Mapped Music Drive == "WRONG ICON!"

Hello All,

I've recently moved my music folder to a mapped drive, and this is the result in Windows Explorer:



EWWWWWWWWWWWWW! How do I fix this?

Thank you,
Michael

Re: Mapped Music Drive == "WRONG ICON!"

that is the icon for a mapped drive it is the correct icon,

but you should be able to change it by, right clicking on it and selecting properties, and than change icon.

Hm. I'm using the "Customize" tab, and then selecting "Choose File" under the "Folder pictures" grouping... When I provide the path to that DLL (and OK the dialog), nothing happens, and the icon doesn't change. Am I using the right tab?

Hello Michael,

You should be able to use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to change the Music user folder icon to one you want instead.

Hope this helps,

Michael,

Did this happen by just changing the icon for it?

Check using the tutorial below to see if it can help you restore this missing user folder.
