One disk drive icon refuses to update automatically

from WinCustomize Forums

Along with my internal disks, I have an external disk attached to my computer. At some point in the past, for some reason I no longer remember, I manually altered the disk icon (right click, properties, etc.) This was back under XP as I recall.

Now I am working with Win7 64-bit, running IP 5.00.021 (32-bit it seems) and I have realised that no matter what Icon package I apply, that drive icon never changes.

Is there some way I can restore/repair the icon for this drive so that when I apply a package it updates and matches the other drive icons?

I can get there now using right click-> change icon, but I would rather not have to do this manually.

Would some combination of rebuilding caches or repairing shells and images get me where I want to go?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

sophiesboy,

I'm running Windows7 too and have the same exact problem as you. I lost the icons asociated with one of my drives and everything I've tried doesn't work. Now, today I lost the main WindowBlinds icon and can't get it back.

I see your post is over a month old, maybe someone here can help us both.

Thanks.

Update,

Curt looked at my problem and told me to delete the file "autorun.inf" and that did the trick. Great tech-support here.
