It looks like the icon for disks not containing the win OS is broken
here.
Can you check if that still exists when trying to change the icon?

I don't know how to change it. that is my question. 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.

You might need a "*.ICO" file
Bought a new USB drive and it had the "KODAK.ico" file on it 
I selected it and it didn't show till I rebooted the Computer?

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:
