Change drive icons.  Windows 98 Only

Most of us know that you can simply create shortcuts to all the drive icons in My Computer, and then change the icons of the shortcuts. But you can change the default icon of the drive by doing the following: Open Notepad and type the following:

[autorun]
icon=filename,number

where "filename" is the name of the file containing the icon (either a DLL, ICO or EXE file), and "number" is the index of the icon to use. If the icon is a ICO file write only the path to the icon file in the filename part. Save the file as AUTORUN.INF in the root directory of the drive you want to change the icon for.

example:

[autorun]
icon= SHELL32.DLL,7


or

[autorun]
icon= D:\Icons\Myicon.ico
