Missing Icon.

[GTGear]

I recently installed a new theme to my computer. It was Windows Vista. Well, it didn't work, so I unistalled it, but now the icon to my C Drive is missing.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Can you access your hard drive without problems?

I can access it normally. No problems.

Two solutions -

1.Delete the Autorun.inf file in the root directory of the drive.

Enable Windows to Show all files
From My Computer, right-click the drive-letter, and choose explore
Locate the file named Autorun.inf (in the drive's root directory)
Delete the file Autorun.inf if found
Logoff and login back to your user account.

2.Reset the drive icon settings in the registry

Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ DriveIcons \ <drive>
Backup the branch to a file, and then delete the <drive> key

Navigate to :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Applications \ explorer.exe \ Drives \ <drive>
Backup and delete the <drive> key

Close Registry Editor and restart Windows.

If you can access it just fine, it doesnt matter if the icon is missing. It's merely decoration. Your problem is not fatal.
