How to set Icon of Drive

Hi Friends,

Sometime we want to set the icon of drive in my computer or any other removable device.  Today we will see how to set the icon of drives (HD partitions or removable devices)

open notepad and paste the following code

     [autorun]
     icon = .\media.ico

here media.ico is the icon file I want to set to the drive.  '.\media.ico' it shows media.ico are at same place.  Now save file file to the drive in which you want to set the icon as 'autorun.inf' extension.  Just consider the case if you want to set the icon to 'D:\' drive then save this file to 'D:\' drive.  "D:\autorun.inf". Now save the that icon file in 'D:\' drive as 'media.ico' file name we specified in autorun.inf file.


if the drive in which you set the icon file is removable remove it and reinsert it, it will show you the icon.  But if the drive is HD partition you have to restart the system. And you will see the icon at the place of default drive icon.

See the icon of 'I:\' drive (Pendrive).



Happy Tricks.. :)
