Nope, that doesn't work. It does bring back the right icon, but goes back
to the wrong icon upon reboot (like in my reply to brianb).

Test Man,

The value 0 is set to "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shell32.dll,0" which is
correct, but it's not needed (not present in a clean xp installation).
Perhaps you can try removing the value "0", and run a Repair again using
Tweak UI.

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.

Follow this link:

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.
