The icon is like a broken one, and it names C: as "True Crypt Traveler Disk (C".
This happened after I was fiddling with True Crypt and installing it on a USB drive. At no time did I install it on my C: drive, although I did extract on my download folder.
I have tried the following:
1. Delete my icon cache and rebooted.
2. I have done what MS suggests:To fix this problem, follow these steps:
Close all open windows if a Close Open Programs Interaction dialog box is displayed.
Create the Max Cached Icons registry value in the following registry subkey if the registry value does not exist, and then set the registry value to 2000: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Delete IconCache.db that locates in the following path
3. I have manually gone through the registry and removed any entry related to "True Crypt"
4. I have run Norton Utilities' Registry Cleaner two times, and CCleaner
All to no avail.
My fiddling days are coming to an end.
On Richc46's first suggestions I tried revouninstaller, re-extracted truecrypt, and in the end did a system restore, and now my c: icon is back to normal with no TrueCrypt name on it.
I will keep a note of the other suggestions by Brink and Ardneh. More than one way to untie a knot.
