Corrupt Icons When Opening CD/DVD in My Computer

If I have Large Icons enabled and open a CD or DVD to view the contents of the disc, I get Internet Explorer HTML page icons obscuring the actual icons for folders and files. Using TweakUI’s Rebuild Icons feature would solve the problem temporarily but the issue would always return. I decided I’d Google me a fix and it seems to have paid off.

The issue seems to be the icon size for large icons, I followed a fix listed on the Computing.net forums and restarted Explorer.

Open up regedit and navigate to the key listed below:

Change the value Shell Icon Size from 48 (the size it gets set to when you enable Large Icons) to 47 and logout or kill and restart Explorer.
