Icons Became generic

Somehow, I did something which has caused a few desktop shortcut icons to
change from specific icons to a generic blank picture. The icons include
two DVD drives E: and F:, a utility program Acronis, and a self created icon
for a frequently used folder. I was able to restore the self-created icon
without difficulty. But...

I next tried fixing the DVD drive icons. But if I right click the Icon +
Properties + Change Icon and select the appropriate icon, I get a message
that (for example) "the name E: specified in the drive box is not valid."

So what's the trick?
 
Hi,

Sounds like the network drives have not reconnected after the reboot
required on the install of IE8 Beta 2. Have a look at their status in File
Manager.

Regards.
 
Is there a disk in the drive when you tried to change the icon? Try that
before going to the Properties.
 
I have the same problem with the icon for one program that is on the task
bar. It occurred at about the same time I installed sp3. This is the icon
for the program RoboForm. I do not have a desktop icon for that program,
just the task bar. Any ideas as to what happened and how I can correct it?

Thanks,

TRCSr
