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"
