Can you check if that still exists when trying to change the icon? -- kind regards Marco Send spam to 1732788320muell@stinkedores.dorfdsl.de

I can change the icon on the desktop for it, using the change icon button in properties, but that doesn't change the icon in File Exploiter. -- Have a nice day!.. stay sane, be happy, and enjoy living.

It's not identified as "removable storage" but yes whatever system Windows uses to map the icons seems to have become confused and sent it looking for a non-existent icon file. Probably no way to tell how it's supposed to work so you'd have to make it forget the drive and then detect it again. Maybe booting with the drive unpluged will do this, but I suspect it'll still remember so you'll need to manually delete something in the registry. A quick web search brought up these suggestion: https://superuser.com/questions/307979/how-to-restore-hard-disk-file-icon-windows-7 -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
