is there an autorun.inf file in the c:\ root?

[tommkell]

yeah there is.

[gerryf]

rename it autorun.bak

reboot

[tommkell]

sweet, now the c: drive has the proper icon. im just gonna leave iconpackager off my system and use windowblinds only. i dunno how that .bak thing worked but thanks for all your help gerry.
i hope that sorts everything out.

[gerryf]

what about the other problems...where do we stand on those....you've got several issues going on

the autorun.inf file is typically found on cd-roms and point toward a file on the cd to display a special icon in explorer--how you got an autorun.inf on your harddrive is downright odd...not normal

[tommkell]

oh, it seems some other files are are using the harddrive icon as an icon how would i get rid of them?

[gerryf]

which files

[tommkell]

i just downloaded 2 .max files and the icon is a hard drive. but if i look in appearance and themes > filetypes there is a lot of them like ASA, ASF, BKF, BOOTSKIN, CDX, CO, COLLECTION, CUR and so on. DRV (device driver is one as well.

there are some iconpackager ones that are a hard drive icon. ICO and IPTHEME. maybe thats the problem.?

[gerryf]

i thought you removed iconpackager?

[tommkell]

i did an uninstall. it probably leaves a lot of stuff behind.

[gerryf]

no doubt

start run
regedit
<enter>

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}

what do you see there?

[tommkell]

a subfolder "Old Icon".

[gerryf]

ok, that means the old icon paths are still there (not effected by removal of iconpackager)

I would reinstall iconpacker, then

Start Icon Packager > Tools > select "Restore all Icons" > click "Yes" in confirmation pop-up dialog > click "OK" to apply > wait a few seconds for changes to apply.

Then right click the desktop > choose Properties > choose the Themes tab > select Windows XP in the Theme drop-down list then click "Apply".

This should put you back to normal
