What happens if you click on the “C” drive icon?
What opens if you right-click either of those icons and select “properties”?

Tried a reboot?

When i click it it opens

when i click properties it works

yep i tried a reboot but does not help

i tried a check disk for errors but doesnt work

i think the only problem is the icon

please reply accurately

I can’t reply accurately. I don’t know.
It sounds like a registry problem to me.

Run any registry cleaners, or deleted/changed any entries?

I have run CCleaner many times

but doesnt work

sorry for the duplicate post

please help me

OK, go to “Start>control panel>folder options”. Select “file type” and then highlight “drive” (or it may be “local drive”). Click on “advanced” then “change icon” and select the icon for it to use from a list that should appear.
