hi,

today I installed HD Sentinel, but my Harddisk Icons are gone, and I dont get them back !
I dont know why there has been this opion to change the drive icons in HDsentinel , this makes no sense.
and now my icons are gone

tried iconcache repair but doesnt help.




Thats a reason not to buy this software... how do I get back my drive icons ?

The icons should reflect the health status of the hard disk.
I suspect your antivirus software issued a false alarm and removed/blocked the files with the icon images (*.ICD files).

To disable this function and restore the icons, just open Configration -> Disk Control and disable the
"Modify default hard disk icons in Windows Explorer".

That's it

thats what I did ! but it doesnt help !


I found an other solution: Windows_7_Drive_Icon_Changer_by_FunnyFriend2010

I have just clicked "uninstall" with all drive letters, then my icons were back.

I can't really understand. It should work as it disables the icon change in Hard Disk Sentinel and this restores the default icons.

I suspect maybe there was a conflict with an other software (maybe with the tool you mentioned) and the problem was not (only) related to Hard Disk Sentinel. Anyway, sorry for the troubles.

The same issue I got when I installed HDSentinel.

The problem is likely caused by your antivirus software which blocks the use of icon library (*.ICD) files. If possible, please report them or submit the files to further analyse so they can fix the false alarm.

As described above, please use Configration -> Disk Control and disable the "Modify default hard disk icons in Windows Explorer" option to restore the original icons.
