Guest Ronaldo Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Re: hard drive icon How it happened?.. maybe some application caused the problem as it was in my case, I had installed an app that changed the drive icon and when I removed the application it left the unknown file icon in place. Y solved it by removing the "DriveIcon" key from the following registry path. Go to Start\Run\type; regedit and hit Enter, and browse to the Explorer key and delete the "DriveIcon" key if it exists, (it should not be there by default). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons If that doesn't fix it, you can create a substitute key to mask the "unknown file" icon with this registry edition: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,9" You can use this data to create a registry fix ".reg" file,... or if you prefer to edit the registry manually; browse to the Explorer key, and in the right pane right click and select New, Key and name it "DriveIcon"... higlight the new key and in it's right pane, create another subkey named "E" and create another named "I".. next create a new key under each E and I keys and name those subkeys as "DefaultIcon" and edit the data in contained (default value) on each "DefaultIcon" key, with @="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,9" which is the default hard drive icon on Windows XP. ------------------------------ "lesiofamily" <blm333@rcn.com> escribió en el mensaje news:uDmy6TyNJHA.3804@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have win xp pro with 3 HD > 1- C and D - IDE > 2- E and F - IDE > 3- I SATA > > I can access all of my HD > but my icons for E and I are kind of like "unknown file" - not a typical > HD icon > what happened and how can I fix it? > thanks >

Guest Ronaldo Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: hard drive icon Maybe something, file or registry edition did not install in the upgrade. Have you tried the registry edition y mentioned before?... I've improved and simplified it in case you found it complicated. To easily edit your registry and restore the drive icons, copy the text between the double lines, and paste it on a text file... save that file as "DefaultIcons.reg", and next right click on the file, and select "Merge" it will replace the generic icon with the default typical HD Icon on your E and I drives. I'd recommend you check in the registry before anything else, check that the "DriveIcons" key (folder) does not already exist, if it does, back it up with right click\Export and next delete it, that should restore the default Icon. And if the "DefaultIcon" key does not exist, proceede and apply the following registry edition as indicated above. ==================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\E\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,8" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\I\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,8" =================== ---------------------------------------- "lesiofamily" <blm333@rcn.com> escribió en el mensaje news:uYt9l29NJHA.1896@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I have reinstalled my win xp - no changes in hardware > before I had xp home and now have pro - that is the only change > > > "Ronaldo" <private_email5@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:e5GuCc6NJHA.3876@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> How it happened?.. maybe some application caused the problem as it was in >> my >> case, I had installed an app that changed the drive icon and when I >> removed >> the application it left the unknown file icon in place.

Guest Ronaldo Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: hard drive icon Yes you need to restart the computer... but here are more options that may work better (in case a restart doesn't work); dowload the script Kelly sugested to restore the default drive Icon... also another option is the application "ActivIcons"... it's very simple to use and can restore the default icon with a single click. If you have created the "DriveIcon" key, you will have to delete it before you use the application. To restore the default Icon; open the application and; Select Drives \ Hard Drive \ and click on "Restore Default", exit and click on Yes. To replace any icon, a drive Icon for example: Select Drives \ Hard Drive \ and browse to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Shell32.dll and select the Icon you want to use and click open. Exit and click on Yes. http://activicons.cursorarts-company.qarchive.org/ ----------------------------------------- "lesiofamily" <blm333@rcn.com> escribió en el mensaje news:ORrhdPKOJHA.3732@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > driveicon key does not exist > I tried to fix it manually - did not work > also when I created .reg file and merged it icons remained the same > maybe when I restart PC? > > lb > > "Ronaldo" <private_email5@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:eUPoMWBOJHA.1164@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> Maybe something, file or registry edition did not install in the upgrade. >> Have you tried the registry edition y mentioned before?...

Guest Ronaldo Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Re: hard drive icon What have you written in the script? you need to write the address of the Icon database dll, followed by the Icon number which is 8 for the default drive icon. So write "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Shell32.Dll,8" (no quotes). You also need to restart the computer for the chante to take effect.

Guest Ronaldo Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Re: hard drive icon Well, I used the vbs script also to test it, and it worked, so there could be smething that's interfered with everything you've done so far. The following registry edition is what the VBS Script made on the registry, apply from a ".reg" file or type it directly on the registry, and restart the computer. If it still doesn't restore the default hardrive icon, try the application I suggested before, and if still nothing, try a registry cleaner and check the results for any icon related issues, before you delete the results. Copy & paste the text below (between lines) to a text file and save as "DriveIcon.reg", next right click the file and select merge, restart. ---------------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons] "8"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Shell32.Dll,8" --------------------------------- This application should change the Icon,.. if it doesn't, see if a registry cleaner and after that a system optimizer. Also search the registry for keys or values that may be interfering with the normal display of icons... search for "Icon", "Icons", "DriveIcon", "ShellIcon".... to see if there is more than one key that may be obstructing changes. http://activicons.cursorarts-company.qarchive.org/ ---------------------------- "lesiofamily" <blm333@rcn.com> escribió en el mensaje news:edn2o27OJHA.4264@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I cut and pasted your text without quotes into vbs program, restarted PC - >no changes > > > "Ronaldo" <private_email5@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:epEsUGwOJHA.780@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> What have you written in the script? you need to write the address of the >> Icon database dll, followed by the Icon number which is 8 for the default >> drive icon.
