My Hard Drive Icons Are Gone

  1. My normal grey hard drive icons are gone and substituted with the generic windows icon in the white rectangle. I tried doing the wordpad autorun.inf thing and they still won't change back. It's annoying and I'm wondering how to get them back to normal, if it is part of some bigger problem, or something. Any advice is greatly needed. Thank you in advance.

    You are using xp?
    Download Tweak UI powertoy and use the rebuild explorer icon option.

  5. I HATE MY COMPUTER! Still no luck. i ran the rebuild icons and it didn't do anything. i think i just have to get used to them the way they are.
     
  6. Thank You For All Your Help. I finally got it to work. I downloaded some new icons and completely messed around in the registry and got it to change. Thank you again. Tweak is helping me with other stuff on the screwed up computer. Maybe you could help with my other post about my problems with divx player.
