Custom Icon For Your Hard Disk Drives ( For Cds Also)

[niran 0]

Hi all,

Please have a look at here!

 

Its the window for me, while clicking "MY Computer" ( Not "Your Computer" he he! Just Kidding)

Ok, Do you like to put your own Icons for each and every Drive in your computer?

( You can use seperate icons for the CDs also,

and u can see the same icon, for the CD, if you use it in any computer around!!)

Yes.. Its one simple thing to put the icons!!

 

I will explain how to put those icons!

 

Steps:

 

Step 1:

Get some cute icons for the drives!

 

Step 2:

Open Notepad and type the following:

 

[autorun]

icon=IocnFileName.ico

 

 

Step 3:

Save the notepad with file name: "autorun.inf" (without quotes)

 

Step 4:

Copy both the files (Icon File & autorun.inf) to the drive ( eg: C:\ , D:\ , E:\ etc)

You can put the same files while writing CDs also ( Do not put autorun.inf inside any sub folders)

 

Step 5:

Open My computer and just refresh ( For windows XP, you need to restart the system in order to see the change )
