i tried to install a game - 'teenage ninja mutant turtles demo' - from a mag
DVD and when it asked for the destination directory, i put c:\, but instead
of the game installing, i realized that the icon for c:\ drive'd changed to a
TMNT face. i located that icon to the c:\windows\support folder as an autorun
file. the game itself was nowhere to be found on searching. on trying to
delete this icon, there was no icon for the c: drive in 'computer'. pl advise
me how do i get rid of this stupid icon and restore the original c: drive
icon. i've vista home premium as OEM OS in my HP Pavilion PC.
TIA

Hey arvind--

How 'bout ole system restore? If you have the DVD that gives you 6
locations from which to try SF from: F8 has several safe modes/the Recovery
link from the dvd/typing restore into the Vista search box.

If SR doesn't work, you can try a startup repair to fix this if you have the
Vista DVD.

The easiest way to get there is to type restore into the search box and
click it when it pops up. My point about their being 6 places to access if
you have a DVD and can include that is that often SR won't work from one
access point and will work from another one with the same restore point or
points available.
