792474 2009-07-17 08:37:00 Got an external hard drive but I want to change the icon....how do I do that?? Have googled but nothing helped so far. mark1978 (13845)
792475 2009-07-17 08:43:00 Find an icon, copy it somewhere. Then point it to the folder in the registry (if you can find the entry for it). Would TweakUI or something do it?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
792476 2009-07-17 09:03:00 Got it!

open notepad

[autorun]
ICON=(name of icon).ico

Save as autorun.info file

then put both files in the drive that icon needs changing

restart pc!

792477 2009-07-17 09:14:00 Oh and that too :p If you want the easy way. Just make sure thats the only autorun.inf file on the hdd. Speedy Gonzales (78)
792478 2009-07-17 09:30:00 Speedy's method would mean the icon wouldn't appear on another PC. Blam (54)
