No HDD Icon in windows explorer?

**porkop** · 11-10-09, 07:03 PM

Hello,

This is hust an annoyance. Note in the attached pic that my drive P: has no icon like the other above.

The drive works 100% and there are no known issues with its operation.

I just am a neat freak and would like it all to be uniform.

I have looked for a change icon option in properties but there is nothing to be found?

Any ideas please?

regards

Is there an autorun.inf and autorun.ico in the root of the drive? These can be made to customise the icon for a drive.
If there is and it points to a non-existant icon it'll screw up.
