When you remove the data drive letter, Windows will not like it and all your links and icons will disappear. Fear not. When you assign the new drive the old drives letter and do the restore, everything will return.
It's always been easier to me to do the restore then swap drive letters.
Well, I changed old data drive letter H: to V: and this popped up:
So, I completely ignored that and changed new data drive letter T: to H: and windows complied. Then, I refreshed the desktop and rebooted.
The only problems I can see are, I lost my desktop icon arrangement and any custom folder icons. Other than that, everything appears to be okay. Whew!
I used to use this trick when facing this problem. Maybe the change has affected your themes:
a) Right-click on the Desktop and choose Personalize
b) click on Themes
c) click on Desktop icon settings
d) in this next box, "uncheck the box" for "Allow themes to change desktop icons"
e) click "apply" OR "ok" and you're done
If that doesn't work, just put the tick back. Nothing to lose. Really hope that helps!
