Lost Icon HDD by Xsteem
Hi Has anyone any idea of how to recover the Icon for a HDD? My second HDD icon for drive D now displays a folder icon that appears for a file that does not have a prgram to run it? This is in all views of the Drive although it does not effect the operation. Vista has been running OK for sometime then this icon appeared. Not knowingly deleted anything and unable to renew the icon in properties

Windows Crashes when left Idle by Shailesh Jha
I had left my system idle for 20 mins or so (Windows Vista Ultimate) and it was on battery support (80 %). When I come back after 20 mins, I see a blue screen reporting a crash. I had to turn off the machine and restart it again to get it working. Although not very frequent, but it keeps on happening every 2 weeks or so. Sometimes it happens when I try to hibernate as well.

I would like to re-direct backups to E, which I assume will be no problem. My question is: How do I go about deleting the old backups on D? 1) Do I just delete the folder on D created by...
