HARD DRIVE ICON
I have a second hard drive installed on my PC, but
whenever it is displayed it appears with the same icon as my CDR. I know this is pure cosmetic but it does get confusing some time when in a hurry. Is there a way to change the icon so it can be properly reflected. I have tried to do so like any other icon but to no avail. Properties will not allow it. Thank You |

HARD DRIVE ICON
See if there is an autorun.inf file on your hard drive and, if so, delete
it. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Luis" wrote in message ...

HARD DRIVE ICON
Thanks for your response Ron B. I followed your advice
and found 4 autorun.inf on my hard drive. Not sure which one to delete. Two are on programs file for cdr software, 1 on the temp for internet service & last is on C: CABS. I opened them & to any difference but found none. Maybe all or is there a specific one. Once again Thank You ! -----Original Message----- See if there is an autorun.inf file on your hard drive and, if so, delete it. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Luis" wrote in message ...

HARD DRIVE ICON
If an autorun.inf is being used for a drive icon, then it is in the
root folder of the drive concerned but you don't appear to mention that one. If it is there, open it in Notepad and you should see the specified icon. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.display.general, "Luis" wrote: Thanks for your response Ron B.
