umm,modify regedit is hard and dangerous...if you want to change the picture of any windows files or drive ico.you could creat a hiden autorun.ini file in the folder which you wanna change its looks.
the autorun.ini includes:

[autorun]icon=*.ico //* is the name you can select icon for the folder

certainlly you could also use the system ico is ok like "shell32.dll,32" to instead *.ico
