| 698783 | 2008-08-19 23:41:00 | Why does my DVD-Rom and CD-RW show up like this in My Computer? img110.imageshack.us The icon isn't correct for the CD-RW and they both say MMC/SD. Also, can I change the icons for my removable devices? I have Windows Home Edition. |

| 698784 | 2008-08-19 23:44:00 | Well you've been messing with icons etc, so that's probably what's caused it. I don't think you can change or rename optical drives, you could try in disk management. |

| 698785 | 2008-08-19 23:46:00 | It was like that before I changed the icons though... Plus I just reinstalled Windows XP a few days ago. |

| 698786 | 2008-08-19 23:58:00 | You've installed an icon pack or something? It sounds a bit like Windows has somehow got it's drive names messed up. Maybe delete them from device manager and reboot, see if it re-installs them properly. |

| 698787 | 2008-08-20 00:01:00 | Try reassigning the icon through Folder Options... Then reassign the MMC card to, say S and the other drive to F and all should be OK. |

| 698788 | 2008-08-20 00:04:00 | The combo drive I used to have in this computer messed up somehow. I took it out and replaced it with 2 single drives and it still looks like that. I just installed them not 40 minutes ago. I used ICON Tweaker to change the icons...but they were like that before I did that. |

| 698789 | 2008-08-20 00:24:00 | You can change the Icons back to default, but you need to do a reg Hack, WARNING: make sure you create a restore point first, OR export the reg files as a backup BEFORE you do this: To change Drive icon: 1- Click Start > Click Run > type “regedit” to run Registry Editor 2- Find following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer 3-create a new Key and name “DriveIcons” 4- Under DriveIcons create a new Key with the drive letter ( for example C ), within drive letter create a new key and name “DefaultIcon”. 5- Give the default value , the icon you want to use, for example : c:\windows\system32/shell32.dll,74 To change Drive Label: Do step one and two Under DriveIcons create a new Key with the drive letter ( for example C ), within drive letter create a new key and name “DefaultLabel”. Give the Default Value, the label you want. For example Windows. Close Registry Editor and reboot your Computer OR have a read Of this here (www.cryer.co.uk) Basically the same thing. |

| 698791 | 2008-08-20 17:17:00 | I don't really wanna change anything in the registry, I would rather just keep it like it is, I don't wanna screw anything up... My computer has the flash reader,sd card reader and all that stuff built in. |
