I was un-installing something (something java I think) and
afterward, the C drive icon in My Computer changed. Its
no longer the picture of a HD - looks like it cant find
the pif (maybe). The drive is shared so the share hand is
still there though. When I double click to open the drive
now, it pulls up the dialog box "open with what program".

How can I get the regular drive icon back ?

Thanks

Hi,

Look for an autorun.inf file on the root of C:\ and delete it (use
start/search/files).
