Missing Icon in My Computer

Recently, I opened up My Computer from the option in the Windows XP Start Menu, and I saw that the icon for my Hard Disk Drive was not the one it sued to be. Instead of the icon of a disk drive, I now have an icon with a white background with one corner turned down, and in the middle is what looks like an Explorer window. This is usually (on my computer) the icon i get when a file isn't assigned a program yet. I have tried everything I know to get the Disk Drive icon back, to no avail Refresh doesn't work, neither does PowerToys "Rebuild Icons." On other files, I can simply right-click, Properties, and choose the icon, but for my C drive, right-clicking and choosing Properties does not let me change the icon. Any suggestions? Obviously this is more of an annoyance than a life-altering change, but annoying nonetheless. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried (for XP)right clicking on your desktop, click Properties, click Desktop Tab, click Customize desktop, selecting My Computer and then clicking Restore Default?
