Currently I have two rather different versions. :) 1. Your icons are not changed. That registry folder only appears if it is used, not there by default (no need). 2. Your icon are changed with other method. Look for autorun.inf or desktop.ini files in drive root. Those might be hidden so you'll have to enable showing hidden files in Explorer or use decent file manager. @Len
