Changing drives icon First of all copy a icon file to the root of the drive

In this trick i will show you how to change the drive icons that appear in Mycomputer.

For this you need an icon image i.e.; with extension "ICO" example "drivea.ico"

Copy the icon file to the root of the drive.
example: c:\drivea.ico

Then create a file called: autorun.inf in the root directory c:\autorun.inf.
Simply Right click->New->Text Document. Rename it to autorun.inf (.inf is Extension)

Next open that file and type the following:

[autorun]
icon=drivea.ico

Save and close the file.

Now open my computer and refresh.. and woh! icon changed....
you can apply to other drives too.

Note:
"autorun.inf" and "ico.ico" must be in the root of the drive.
example: c:\autorun.inf and c:\drivea.ico.
same on the root.
