    I was deleting some stuff I didn't need anymore on my D: drive and I noticed my D: drive icon changed from the typical disk icon to an exe/app icon. Is this a virus? How do I fix it?

    Change external hard drive icon?

    Hi, I have two quick questions. I have a western digital ext. hard drive and when i installed it, the icon was messed up and it is just one of those white error icons. is there a way to change it?

    and seecond question. I was trying to change the icon, and accidently messed something up. not quite sure what, but whenever i double click on my hard drive to open it, instead of opening up the contents it opens up a search in a new window. anyway to change that?

    Thanks for any help.
