Did that, it rearranged my desktop icons and worked. Then when I restarted
machine, the "no association" icons were back to what they were previously
(showing an image of a drive). Did it several times, same result. Also
deleted the IconCache.db file (as per some Microsoft KnowledgeBase article)
within my profile (and other profiles too), no joy.

Download the PowerToy called TweakUI from the link above. After you have
installed it, run it and you should see a "Repair" option at the bottom
of
the list on the left hand side of the main window. Click on repair, select
"rebuild icons" from the drop down list, and then click the "repair"
button.
See if that works....

Hi
Usually when a file has no association in Windows XP, the icon used is
a
default one (the program group icon on a document). However, upon
uninstalling HDDLife, the icons have been changed to a drive icon. How
can
I change this? I have Windows XP Service Pack 2.
