Change Desktop HD icon

This may be a fun question for u but i can't find the way to do so.

I manually change a desktop HD icon not using any third party app just copy and paste, how do i get my original one back? ;)

Just cut it right back out ;).

For those who don't know how to copy and paste either, you can "Get Info" on a file or HD and copy an icon into the upper left corner (make sure you have a suitable icon, and that the icon that's already in the upper left corner of the Get Info box is in focus and selected, and then just press Command + V).

The "original" icon isn't overwritten when you paste in the new one (that's not a technical description, by the way). Get Info on your HD, select the icon in the upper-left corner, and then press Command + X.

Voilá! :)
