Change a drive icon 2

The icon displayed for a cd (or zip) drive is normally taken from the media that it holds. To specify the icon that should be used:

1. Copy the icon file (IconName.ico) to the root directory (i.e. the top directory) of the cd. (Any name will do, but it must be an icon file and have a ‘.ico’ file extension.)
2. Create the file ‘AUTORUN.INF’ in the root of the drive, it should contain:

[autorun]
icon = IconName.ico
3. The change will be visible the next time cd is placed into a drive.
