In windows explorer my hard drive icon has changed itself to the icon of my external hard drive. I can't figure out how to change it back to normal. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a picture of what I mean.

Can't change my Hard Drive Icon back to default
(3 posts)
Look for two files on your hard drives, autorun.inf and *.ico. These files are used on your external to give it a unique icon, but if they are on your C: and D: partitions as well, it will change them too. The autorun.inf file should have just 1 section with 1 line, icon="<name>.ico" or something. Delete these two files and your hard drive icons will turn back. You may need to logoff and back in to see the change.
This article talks about using autorun.inf and .ico files among many other ways to customize icons:
