LOL J.,

Do not sell yourself short. Just ask questions for what you do not understand and I or someone will be sure to help the best that we can.

Enjoy and have fun,

Re: Drive Icon Change

If I may ask Brink, what's the icon for the hard drive you used in the screenshot? Where can I find that?

Re: Drive Icon Change

Hi Jim,

It's the same one boxed in red below step 4 (How to Use a DLL OR EXE Icon Library File) in Method One. imageres.dll,30

I believe you will only see that icon when it is used as a larger icon like for a shortcut instead of this smaller drive icon.

Re: Drive Icon Change

I'm sorry, where can I find that and what would I enter into the registry key to use it?

Also, we're talking about the black hard drive icon right?

Re: Drive Icon Change

Jim,

Nope, I thought you meant the default one. LOL

It took a bit to find it again but here it is:

HDD_Black.zip < Click to Download

You can add it by using Method One in this tutorial and type the path of where you will have the icon stored in step 17.

Re: Drive Icon Change

Hi Claustrawberry,

As long as they each show up with a driver letter in Computer, then you should be able to change each icon for them per drive letter using Method Two.
