Hi all,

I could not find the folder Explorere in my registry. I did find a folder named Explorer but it did not contain the DriveIcons folder.
I have the Autorun files in my WD drive. The icon still will not show up even after safely removing the drive and rebooting my computer. The drive works correctly, it just has the “no icon” icon in my computer. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

I uninstalled a virtual drive and it left some keys in the registry. And because of these leftover keys, one of my drive icons was missing. With your suggestion, I was able to restore my missing drive icon. Thanks!

@Deeya

There is no problem if the entry is not there in your registry. It means that default icon will be displayed always.

Deyaa,
One technique for assigning a drive-specific icon uses a file named Autorun.inf in the root directory of that drive. Launch Notepad and enter [autorun] on the first line. Enter ICON= on the second line, followed by the full pathname of the icon-holding file, a comma, and the icon index. It might look like this:

[autorun]

ICON=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHELL32.DLL,8

Save the file as “C:\autorun.inf” (you need the quotes to prevent Notepad from appending the .txt extension). Now restart the computer. When you open Windows Explorer, the drive SHOULD display its icon.

If still problem is there, then ask, we will find some another solution.
