Drive Icons Missing

[chris_lewis]

I have an RS-322e Desktop, I recently transferred all my data from my old pc to this one by connecting the old HD, when it showed in control panel the drive registered as the memory stick!!! (drive g) everything worked and transfered fine but when the old HD was removed so was the memory stick icon, strangley when i insert a memory stick into the card reader it shows as a compact flash card the data is still availiable but does anyone have a idea how to get the icon back??

thanks

I had to sort it out - it'll teach me to check my links better :smileyblush:

In 2000 and XP you can also change the label used for the drive as well:

Navigate to (or create):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion \Explorer\ DriveIcons\ X\ DefaultLabel

where 'X' is the drive letter of the drive for which you wish to change the label.

Change the key's default value to hold the required label.

Rob you are simply brilliant! Thanks - BTW I am the worlds worst for posting out-of-date links so you are not alone there!:smileylaugh:

But I am the linkmeister and dodgy links are right out :smileynerd:

Yep, Rob is the linkmeister, and if you post a wrong link you can be sure to get a yellow card....
