| Administrator | Re: Drive Icon Change Sorry NicksonBlue, I cannot make a reg file, since it will be different for everyone based on the icon they choose.  Shawn |

| Member | Re: Drive Icon Change Shawn, I am having similar problem. After installing Vista updates my E: drive icon started showing as generic Windows folder icon (see attached picture). System restore did not help, changing disk icon for drive E: (like described in this thread) did not help, cleaning icon cache did not help either. Do you have any ideas what it can be caused by and how to fix it? Best, Darius |

| Member | Re: Drive Icon Change Shawn, I forgot to add that I had tried sfc /scannow, and it had not work either. E: is a logical drive on extended partition of the hard drive. C: is a promary, other two are logical drives. Darius |

| Administrator | Re: Drive Icon Change Darius, You might try changing the drive letter then changing it back to see if it can trigger a reset to show the drive icon again. Drive Letter - Add, Change, or Remove Shawn |

| Member | Re: Drive Icon Change Shawn, In the meantime I performed update install on Vista. Did not help. Then I followed your suggestion about changing the drive letter and restoring it back. After restoring it back to E: the disk icon showed up correctly for a few seconds (!), and then went back to the generic one and stayed. In other words, did not work. I would greatly appreciate further help. Best, Darius |
