How to restore my Hard disc drivers ICONS

[neroman]

Hi,

I downloaded from microsoft Fix it portable. Then I saved the program to my local "D" Drive and the icon of this drive has changed! How can I restore my D Drive Icon in Windows 7 Home Premium ?

Thanks

If you right click and go to properties, then choose the customize tab, you can use just about any image you want to for it, including that one of uncle Bob at that wedding, come on, you know which one.

I search my laptop and I found SOME ICONS in CoffeeCup Software Folder at C:\Users\neroman\Documents\CoffeeCup Software\Graphics\Icons\Devices & Hardware BUT when I go to D Drive properties, then Customize, then choose file, then I press APPLY AND SAVE, AFTER REFRESH OR RESTART MY LAPTOP, the result is: nothing change!


Thanks

OK, I was speaking off the cuff, it turns out what I said really only applies to folders, for the drive icons you will have to go into regedit. I don't know if you will be comfortable with that, many are not [of course most users have never even heard of the registry]. There is a good tutorial for that I found here:

This is what he did with his:




The procedure is straight forward, but not trivial. I don't know what FixIt did to your icons, that kind of stuff irks me no end. That's why we all love ms isn't it?
