"I just finished changing the icons with another software I found yesterday, but until now I didn’t find a solution to those remarks! ...have been surfing the Web for a solution since 3 days ago and until now I didn’t find anyone!

...Can you help me please?" - Jorge

My Reply:

In my understanding you want to change or remove the label of these Drives to normal?
1. Press Win+R, Open Regedit.exe
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons
3. Find the drive E and F and just delete the settings.

Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\F\DefaultLabel

4. Right Click the "DefaultLabel" and delete. Same in Drive E.

That's It!!!
