External Drive Icon

S

smtjs

I have added an external USB hard drive. It works fine. However, in My
Computer it does not show as a hard drive icon. It just shows as a square.
Is there any way I can change the icon for this drive? Thanks for any help.

Enable Windows to Show all files and then locate the file Autorun.inf and
delete it from the root directory. Restart Windows.
