Change icons of your drives -
11-18-2006, 06:12 AM
This tutorial is for changing the icon that is shown with your harddrive or any removable drive in My Computer. This also works with cds and dvds but not floppys.
Create your icon or find an icon you like online. It must be saved as a .ico file. I think dimensions should be around 35x35
Open Notepad and type [AutoRun] in the first line.
Name your drive in the second line: label=Whatever you want your drive called
Write the name of your icon in the third line: ICON=your-icon-file.ico. If you wanted to call your drive "Removable Disk" with an icon named "icon.ico", your code would look like this: [AutoRun] label=Removable Disk ICON=icon.ico
File>Save As. Save as type "all files" and type AUTORUN.inf as the file name
Put both ur AUTORUN.inf and .ico file in the ROOT of your removable drive.

It's the pretty trick that used in Cd or DVd to make them autorun. In addition you can add any programs you like to run after double clicking (or single click depend) on the drive.

I wasnt going to go into that but I think you add shellexecute=file.exe when you click on the drive it will open file.exe. Theres other stuff too and I think some of it only works with cds/dvds and not flash drives.
