Hi,

I understand that Icons for drives and folders are missing from the Folder
bar.

Please follow the steps in the article below to resolve the issue.

The Folders Bar in Windows Explorer Does Not Contain Any Icons
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307028

If the issue is not resolved, check the settings here: Go to Start
->regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY CURRENT
USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In the right pane, if the entry "NoDrives" exists, delete it. Reboot the
system.

Explorer should now display the folder icons and the drive icons.

Thank you,

Rashmi
