php Posted September 8, 2006 CID Share Posted September 8, 2006 VITrans is made by the Vista Transformation pack... it just didn't reset your drive icon when you uninstalled it Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/15421-icons-wont-show-up/#findComment-171488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted September 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 8, 2006 VITrans is made by the Vista Transformation pack... it just didn't reset your drive icon when you uninstalled it i know, but the file was deleted...so thats basically all i need. right now though i went ahead and put in dlewis23's file but i would like to have xp's icon instead of vistas. although i can live with this icon i just prefer xp's to vista's edit// ok i got it back and i can get my desktop icon to show but i cant get the C: icon in my computer to show up.

alien0x Posted November 16, 2006 CID Share Posted November 16, 2006 i got the solution! I had the same problem and i managed to fix it. Ok, first you'll have to open windows registry (Start>Run>"regedit"), then follow this direction: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows Current version Explorer DriveIcons C DefaultIcon and change the value from "C:windowssystem32VITransosdrive.ico" to "C:windowssystem32shell.dll,8". it's important for you not to forget to put the number 8 at the end. Hope it works for you as it did for me. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/15421-icons-wont-show-up/#findComment-185571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted April 9, 2007 CID Share Posted April 9, 2007 selcukakar, Welcome to the forum. Have you checked by clicking the desktop go to "Arrange Icons By" and see if "Show Desktop Icons" is checked, if not check it.
