To change the icons used for specific drives in explorer
Open regedit by typing regedit into start->runthen navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer now create a key(KEY not VALUE!!) called DriveIcons under Explorer...now within DriveIcons, create another key with the drive letter you want to change (e.g.,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\K)...create another key within the drive letter key called DefaultIcon... now set the default String value equal to the icon you want to use. if you have a file that has more than one icon in it, such as a DLL file, use the standard C:\full_path\icon_file.dll,n <file:///C:/full_path/icon_file.dll,n>) where n is the number of the icon within the file icon_file.dll...~ c h e e r s! ~Morechange drive icons.....first of all copy a icon file to the root of the drive.example: c:\icon.icothen create a file called: autorun.inf in c:\autorun.infthen open that file and type the following:[autorun]icon=icon.icosave and close the file.now open my computer and resfresh.. and woh! icon changed....you can apply to other drives too.be carefull:"autorun.inf" and "ico.ico" must be in the root of the drive.example: c:\autorun.inf and c:\icon.ico.same on the root.ENJOY, this works on 98 too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
