Re: Change hard drive icon
Scott
You need to perform the following.
1. In the root of the drive where you want the icon to appear, rihgt click
and select New/Folder. Name the folder Autorun.
2. Open Notepad and enter the following text.
[autorun]
ICON=AUTORUN\xxxx.ICO
Save this file with the name Autorun.INF and place it in the root of
the drive.
The xxxx is trhe name of the Icon file you wish to use.
3. Place this icon in the Autorun Folder that you created.
The problem is finding the icon you wish to use. There are a lot of
different "document" icons in Vista. You may need to use an icon extraction
utility to get a copy of this icon. What program is this icon associated
with?
There are many websites that have many, many icons that are free of charge.
Just make sure that it is in the Windows .ICO format.
Use Google to search for "free icons"

Re: Change hard drive icon
Thanks Ronnie
I would be perfectly happy with the default user "Documents" icon. the one
that's associated with the User folders in Vista.
I'm not interested in fancy free stuff, but if you would recommend an icon
extraction utility, that would help.
I really appreciate your help.

Re: Change hard drive icon
That icon is here:
%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112
autorun.inf doesn't seem to like that format, but the registry doesn't mind:
-------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]
@="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\imageres.dll,-112"
--------------------------
Copy the text between the lines & save as a .reg file, them merge into the
registry. You'll need admin privledges to modify HKLM.

Re: Change hard drive icon

There is a program I use called Easy Extract Icon. Easy to use and works
well on Vista. Look near the bottom of the following website.

Re: Change hard drive icon
Hi Keith,
I have used this registry trick before to do this. The problem I always have
is determining the number for the icon in the dll? Is there an easy way to
do this?

Re: Change hard drive icon
In this case, I just peeked at the desktop.ini file in the Documents folder
& copied that. If I don't know the #, I'll customize a folder with the icon
I want & then look at the desktop.ini file in that.
