redsox Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Wondering if someone could help me out. For some reason, the icon representing C: drive doesn't show up. I usually right click and go to properties and click on change icon to change the icon but I can't seem to find that option for my C: drive. I have a feeling I have to go into regedit and change something inside of there but I have never played around with it and frankly I am kind of scared that I might mess up something big. Here is a screenshot of how it looks. http://img1.imagefuse.com/anon/11681419252.jpg Thank you very much for the help.

redsox Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 I figured the change icon option would only be available for shortcuts but I thought there would be an option to edit the icon for drives by going into regedit and modifying it there. But the thing is I have no clue as to how to do it.

redsox Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks for the link. I was able to download it but I am having problems trying to change the icon. It says that I need to register the software for me to change the icon of my C: drive. How were you able to change it? Thanks for the help.

brutushayesosu Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I know I never registered it. Its been over a year since Ive messed around with the icons so I can't really remember what I did to get it to work.

redsox Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nevermind. I was able to change the icon by going into regedit. Took a chance and it worked out fine. Thank you for the help.
