Hi Traci,
Have you tried right clicking on the desktop and select "application".
You will have the option of selecting the icons for your application by
clicking on the dropdown arrow.
Select Devices. Select the icon and OK.
It's important to note that by default, it will check System first. If
you are looking for icons for the hard drives, select "devices".
