Customized Icon for USB sticks & CD drives

Are you fed up of the same default icon of your removable drives again and again? How about a new icon to impress the fellas? Here's how you do it:

• First of all get a suitable icon to replace the removable drive. Be sure that it has an .ico for extension.

• Next open the Notepad and type in what is provided below

• Label is the text that you want to display in My computer when the drive is connected and Icon denotes the name of the icon image. here the label is trick and icon image name is MyIcon. Save the file as autorun.inf.

• Copy both the files (Icon file and autorun.inf) in the removable drive. Make the files hidden so that they don't reappear whenever the drive is connected.

• Remove the external drive and connect it back to the USB.

There you are, look at the customization of your removable drive. Isn't that great!

NOTE: In case you don't find a .ico file , I have a way out. Download the ImageIcon software. Using this graphics utility you can convert the multiple image files into JPG, PNG or BMP image formats into .ico extension

REMEMBER: The same procedure applies for CDs & DVDs too.
