How do I change HDD icons?

[JustStarting]

Some program I installed (Adaptec CD Direct) automatically changed my HDD drive icons and I want the defaults back. Any ideas?

CHANGE HARD DRIVE ICON
Want to change the icon used to represent your hard drive? Here's how: Open Notepad (select Start, Programs, Accessories, Notepad) and type exactly:
[autorun]
icon=PATH,#

where PATH is the path of the icon file containing the icon you want to use, and # is its number (see note below for more information). So, for example, if you wanted to use a globe icon, your Notepad file would read:

[autorun]
icon=c:\windows\system\shell32.dll,13

Save the file as AUTORUN.INF on the root of your hard drive, then close Notepad. Open a My Computer window, press F5 (to refresh), and there's the new icon.

(Note: To view the contents of an icon file--such as Windows\System\shell32.dll--right-click any shortcut, select Properties, click the Shortcut tab, and click the Change Icon button. From there, you can click Browse, and so on, to open another icon.
