Help with a changed hard drive icon

Hello,
I'm including a link to show the problem.
It's "My Computer" icon view.

Hard drive partitions i: and j: are on the 2nd physical volume;
the icon for partition i: has changed to something odd as can be seen
here.

The thing that surprised me, it's a dual boot, two instances of XP
and it's changed on both of them!

Any idea's appreciated.

Dave

Is there any autorun.inf files in the root?

Brilliant !

Yes, directly related to some nonsense I was
doing today. After rebooting, it was back to normal.
Thanks very much -

Dave
