How can I get it bacK/

[Raqui]

Ok, I have Windows XP on an E-machine, and I've noticed when I click on *my
computer* and it is showing me the various drives in my system such as the
31/2 floppy (a), I see a pic of floppy disk in drive...dvd drive (d) I see
a pic of a dvd on top of a drive....you get my drift. Well under local disk
(c) instead of having a picture of a hard disk, I have a picture of a...well
I don't know what this is, it's the picture you get BEFORE your icons appear
as they normally would. (I hope I've explained this) Anyway, if you do
understand my problem, how can I correct this?

Hi Razui,

This can be caused if there is an autorun.inf file located in the root
of the drive.
Click Start, click Run, type C: and click OK.
Right-click the Autorun.inf file, and then click Delete.
Restart your computer.

I have NO idea why what you said and told me to do worked, but it did
Thank you so much Bert!

Hi

The file may have been left over from a previous software install.
Or.
A physical hard disk drive on your computer may appear as a removable
drive when you run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard in Windows XP
