C drive Icon missing in My Computer

[stymie222]

Intel somehow installed an icon for my C drive when i was installing motherboard drivers.I managed to delete it. My usual "C" drive Icon is now replaced by a page. Whats a SIMPLE way to get the C drive Icon back?

I would d/l TweakUI here http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-...

After installing Click the (+) next to My Computer, select the drives. Next to the drive you want to unhide place a check mark, then click OK.

Thanks for the help. One More Question- The usual left double click on my drives opens to Windows search page. I have to right click and then select open or explore to view the contents. This was the fix suggested but I don't know what to do:

According to their "fix", you just need to go to this page

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_folder_open.htm

and download that file "folder_open.vbs". Just right click on the link to it in the top left (where it says the name of that file), and select "Save target as". Save the file to your hard drive, somewhere that you can find it.....maybe just to the desktop. After it downloads the file, go find wherever you downloaded it to and double left click it to run it. It *should* go change a few things in your registry to fix the problem you're having. It says a confirmation dialogue box will appear when it's finished.
