Icon Help
I was messing around with some Windows-skin programs and after I was finished with them, I uninstalled the program. Everything was fine except for this one minor detail: How do I get this icon back to normal?

Did you notice if the skin program changed the drive icon? The program may have installed a drive icon, then left the assignment pointing nowhere when the program and icon were uninstalled.
Check the registry to see if there's anything in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon If so, delete C and everything below.

Good deal. A registry cleaner utility would have caught it but that was a sloppy uninstaller.

You're right. I was generous. Those cleaners that look for orphan paths should notice the problem but it'll vary. It might be an optional, low priority item. Many reg cleaners take a simplistic approach to avoid damaging the system. What with the breadth of Hunt & Peck skillsets, a "remove" checkbox can be the doorknob to Pandora's Box.
Also, the way drive icons are handled has changed between Windows versions and service packs. I could see special casing that registry branch right out of a feature list.
