I have lost the icon to my "D" drive (Recovery Files) and tried both methods of rebuilding/resetting the icon cache mentioned in a former thread. Unfortunately, nothing worked for me. Any more suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Hello Wmcglathery, and welcome to Vista Forums.

This may be able to help you change the drive icon back to the default icon. Be sure to also check for a desktop.ini file as explained in the yellow TIP box at the top of the tutorial.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
