Missing Icon Disc C

[Guest]

When I look in My Computer my Local Disk (C has lost its icon and there is
a generic windows icon in its place. It is not causing me any other problems
but I wonder how I lost the icon and how I get it back.

Open My Computer and delete the autorun.inf file there.

If you can't see *.inf files, set the computer to show all hidden files
and extensions:

Make sure you are able to see all hidden files and extensions (View tab
in Folder Options). In XP, there are four checkboxes to deal with:

a. Check "Display the contents of system folders".
b. Check "Show hidden files and folders".
c. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
d. Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and click "OK" to the
dialog box.

Many thanks Malke.

Set up the Folder options as you suggested but couldn't see the *.inf files
in My Computer.
