i dunno but somehow my d drive icon has changed to somewat like this. chek the pic. i want to restore it to look like others. pls help. also pls lemme know y this happened.

@sysfilez I guess there's some software copied from CD into the root of your D drive. Try moving it into a folder under D drive.
An alternative would be to look for an "autorun.inf" in the root of D drive and delete it if there is one.
If the above two does not work, get a thirdy party tool (like IconPackager/Desktop architect) and you can restore the icon using them

Also check this:

In regedit goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

And make sure there is not key DriveIcons under it and if its there, then it should contain a sub-key d and its value will be an icon path

So delete the DriveIcons key, if its there!

This had happend to me when i had stopped the autopatcher installation at half.

Thans vishal

Download and run this registry entry.
Important: Take a registry back-up before doing so.
