Hard drive icon

For a few weeks now my hard drive icon has been missing - just a piece of paper. Have done an sfc /scannow.

Thanks for any help

If it's just that icon, then it's likely it was changed by accident. To change it back there are a number of possibilities, the easiest of which is

• Re-create the ShellIconCache file. This file is re-created automatically when you change your display's color depth. Follow these steps to change your display's color depth to a new setting and then change it back to the original setting:1. Right-click the desktop and then click Properties.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Change the color depth from the current setting to a new setting. For example, change from Highest (32 bit) to Lowest (16 bit).
4. Click Apply, and then click Yes to accept the changes.
5. Change the color depth back to its original setting.
6. Click Apply, and then click Yes to accept the changes.

Tried that but still no go
Thanks Korimako

ok, try number 119 here

Tried this 4 times even trying both drives to an entirely different icon but seems it isn't letting me change it at all.

When you run change it, did you notice the instruction to change it back to the default icon, you leave the box blank?

Yes did that. I guess it is more of an annoyance than anything, grin.

glad to hear it!
