I was having trouble getting Portable Apps to install on a USB drive and someone suggested setting it up on the hard drive and then transfering the whole thing. Well that worked, but the setup changed the disk icon to a custom icon. Two questions: Why? And now that I have moved all the Portable Apps files I have been left with a bum icon, looks like a file that has no association. I am not the only person who uses this machine so down the road this is going to cause confusion. How can I get the generic hard drive icon back.
Thanks,
David

As mentioned in the Uninstall support topic, it's a hidden autorun.inf file in the root of the drive.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
remove the autorun.inf (it may be hidden)
then autorun the drive
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
Enable the ability to show hidden files, and then delete the autorun.inf file from whatever directory the PortableApps stuff was originally in, or copy that file to the same location as everything else.
