Associate An Icon With A Drive?

Jul 4, 2003

To set the icon of any drive (hard disk, cd rom or anything else) with a letter (C: etc.), run REGEDIT (Start -> Run -> regedit) Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
If one doesn't already exist, create a new KEY called "DriveIcons". Under this key, create a new key with the letter of your drive. I.e. C for your C: drive. To change the icon for that drive, create a key inside that one called DefaultIcon and set the path of (Default) to the location of your icon eg CDefaultIcon hen (Default) = D:DocumentsC Drive Icon.ico To change the name of that drive, create a key in the drive letter one (eg C) called DefaultLabel and set the (Default) to what you want the drive to be called.This is useful if you want to assign a long name to the floppy drive.

Commands Associate/launch With Notepad

Mar 2, 2005

I was hijacked, cleaned everything out and got my browser up and running again. Now, in a bizarre twist, every single app i have automatically opens with Notepad. Everything--even RUN--opens with notepad. Yahoo, Run, Norton, all antispy programs, turbo tax, you name it.When I boot up, instead of having a bunch of programs load and sit on my toolbar, i just get 10 Notepad windows of spaghetti. Hence, even run commands are not going to cut it.

DVD Drive Icon Shown Solution On Dell Optiplex

Nov 13, 2009

I have a Dell Optiplex 760 with a DVD RW/ CD running XP. Windows does not see the DVD drive although it saw it a few weeks ago. BIOS knows about the drive. The drive tests fine on other machines. They want to reload my OS to fix it :-( which means that all the rest of the code I have on the system will be trashed and I will need to reload it all again.

Missing Display Icon In Control Icon?

Aug 30, 2005

After looking at the display settings and closing them, my icon disappeared. A file search on all *.cpl files show that the display.cpl file still exists
and I can create a shortcut to the desktop and run the program.But, I'd like my icon back.I believe the problem was created by having all my icons underlined so I only have to do a single Left click to bring up the program.

Aug 19, 2005

problem setting the CD/DVD icon to return to it's normal icon in My Computer. It currently has the Audio CD icon. I've played an audio CD awhile ago and since then, the icon has remained. This icon is causing problems when I open a Data CD. When the Data CD is inserted the Audio icon emains. When I click on the icon, Media Player starts.

But how do I assign the c:designation to the large drive and the e: designation to the small slave drive.

Can't Logon :: Don't Have The Icon

Sep 23, 2009

I cannot logon to xp. I don't have the icon logon so I can read to you exactly what it does

Loading your personal settings (this one goes fast but I think its playing logon sound)
Restoring network connections (during that I see my desktop background) something skips quickly through here, i think its executing WGAlogon.dll or something Saving your settings (background disappears)

and now I'm back in the logon box

I really don't have much information other than I can't login

Is there any way to make a user by only editing files?

I have system restore points but I cant get to them because I can login to the user even in safe mode, any way to get to those?

I only have 1 user so Ignore my messup right there, not creating a backup user.
