This is a long shot but,

Check if there is a file called "autorun.inf" in your "c:\"

If there is delete it log off/on and see if it is still there.

That where I got it. Also drive "c:&#092;" has that "unknown" icon but drive "d:&#092;" does not.

Can you post the content of "autorun.inf" xxxSHARExxx ?

oh ya scan for virus/trojan/adware and other "crapware"
