Memory Stick Icon Gone

JellybeanCowboy — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 23:57:25 GMT

Hi all,

I've just got a new FS315S and have been tinkering!!
But through my tinkering, somehow the icon under My Computer for the built-in Memory Stick slot has gone, and been replaced with the standard Windows document-type icon.
The slot works fine but I just can't get this icon back.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this please?

Thanks in advance.

This happened to me too when I copied my old hard drive to my new one, somehow now though any new USB device pops up with the Memory Stick icon, I have tried Tweak UI to restore the icons and uninstalling and letting the PC find the card reader again but to no avail. I get this feeling it might be something to do with drive mapping but thats as far as Ive got, so some ideas will be useful.

Thanks very much for the reply. I did what I thought was a thorough search on the forums but couldn't find anything!!!!

Anyhoo, in one of the previous topics was a link to Msicon.zip but the link is not working. Is anyone able to email me a copy of this file please? I would be most grateful.

Thanks again.

I couldn't find a way to PM you my address, so I'll give you my Hotmail.

e-mail me

Really appreciate the help. Thanks!

P.S. I just found an interesting thread on how you can get the colour of the icon to change when inserting a Memory Stick!!!! Cool.

I think the actual trouble is that the G drive that the MS reader was assigned to has gone, unti that is I add a new USB device, then the newly installed hardware adopts the profile of the G drive and the icon reappears, can I add the G drive back to my card reader? its a multiple one btw, H drive is for CF cards & the I drive was for Smart Media until G dissapeared anyway as now if I have a Sony MS in the reader I have to click on H drive to access it , its like they have all shifted up one place in the list and a new J drive was created for the Smart Media cards.

I hope this makes sense.... help!

Chris you can change the drive letter from H back to G if I understand your post correcly by following the instructions below.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
Under Computer Management, click Storage, click Disk Management. In the right pane, you’ll see your drives listed. Removable discs etc. are listed at the bottom of the pane.
Right-click the drive or device you want to change, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the drive letter you want to assign, and then click OK.

Not sure if this could cause any other problems as some programs may make reference to the drive letters and possibly could not work correctly after the change.

I have tried all of the above and the settings were there in the first place,
