Hello,
My icon of drive c has mysteriously gone, leaving an "ordinary" program icon
in the window explorer.
I tried Powertoy, but still no use. Is this a virus or things like that?
Thanks
Jack

Click Start, and then click Control Panel
Double-click Folder Options
On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders
Click OK.
Open My Computer, right-click the drive-letter, and choose explore
Locate the file named Autorun.inf (in the drive's root directory)
Delete the file Autorun.inf if found
Logoff and login back to your user account.
