I have a customer who has the Drive Icon in Windows Explorer associated with
a program. Double-clicking the drive icon launches that program.

Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options... | File Types | (None) Drive |
Advanced
does not permit me to change this assignment.

How can I associate this icon with its default action of opening Windows
Explorer to a view of the drive associated with the icon? Is there perhaps
a Registry entry that needs revision/deletion?

Click Start-Run :
reg.exe add "HKCR\Drive\shell" /ve /d "none" /f


Good Luck, Ayush.
 
If I understand your recommendation it is ... Make the following
modification with REGEDIT

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Drive
shell
set the (Default) value to "none"
ignore all subkeys

Did I understand you correctly?

Yes. Change HKCR\Drive\shell\ to "none" (without quotes)

Good Luck, Ayush.
 
I just ran it on my customers's machine (see next message) and it corrected
the problem.

Tanks for the help.
