Changing a Drive Icon

Installed a second hard drive (a SATA hard drive). Drive letter initially
assigned as "F" in My Computer with Windows Explorer. Changed drive letters
to be consistent with another computer I use. Changed drive "D", which is an
Iomega Zip Drive to drive letter "I" - no problems with this. Changed the
driver letter of my new hard drive from "F" to "D". The Zip drive icon is
still associated with drive letter "D" for my new hard drive. How can I
change it to the default icon for hard drives? I'm using Windows XP with SP1.

Tried procedures suggested by Ramesh in
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/driveicon.htm, but didn't apply to my system. Also
tried searching for a post by Ashokan Achori that might apply to me dated
9-9-04, but couldn't find it. Thanks for your help.
 
Got this from a post:

You may need to delete your icon cache, as it can get corrupted.

If you have tweakUI, goto the repear tab and choose rebuild icons.

If you don't have tweakUI, either get it, or shutdown to dos mode and delete
C:\WINDOWS\SHELLI~1

<<Can't verify but worth a try>> I would recommend trying TweakUI however.
