A friend brought over a cd with the ImageCD program for viewing her vacation pictures. I copied the cd onto a drive so I would have them to view also. Now when I open up My Computer there's an icon of a filmstrip and CD instead of a hard drive icon. How do I change it back? Also, why would an application change a drive icon?

*UPDATE* I figured it out...had to put everything into its own folder. Give me some coffee so I can wake up!

I'm confused! Usually, when a slide show or picture collection is put on a CDR, a runtime program for viewing it is included. That may be what the icon is for. Try running it. To view the pictures on the CD without running the slide show, just use Explorer to browse to the .JPG files and then use the Thumbnail view to see all of them in miniature. Then click on any image and it will open in what ever your computer has associated for viewing JPG files.
