Tags are a part of the rules (see section 2.1.3), and should be used, where appropriate.

This is such a place.

Staff members should support these rules and help enforce them wherever possible. This includes newsposters.

That said, any member finding thread deserving of a tag is advised to either use the "report this post" function, or send a personal message to a member of staff, rather than posting in the thread in question.

I have a way to find it, but I am not sure it will work. I am just assuming it will.

Get TweakUI, go to Google and search for TweakUI, it should be the first result (this might be a good time to get use out of the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button :lol:)

Go to the Control Panel menu item and see which one is for the one that you want. Then do a search on your computer for that file. Once found, the icon may be held in that .cpl file.

Yeah I looked there first and it doesn't show up. :(

anyone else...?

Have you opened up the registry and searched for "Portable Media Devices"

Look for any mention of control panel, then look for a "Command" sub-key

That's how I found what was being accessed for the "Mouse" cp item.

using Restorator, I found it in Audiodev.dll

this one comes with WMP10..

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It's there!

...Yeah, I'm stuck with WMP10, it won't let me revert! :rant:

Is this file safe to delete, will it try and resurrect itself?

If I have to keep it, what should the icon be, an iPod???

Thanx again.

Iconextract is the best way to find the cpl where the icon is located.
