Change Drive icons as u like

To change the icons used for specific drives in explorer:

  • Open regedit by typing regedit into start->run..
  • Then 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 ) where n is the number of the icon within the file icon_file.dll...

Take care...
