To change the icons used for specific
drives in explorer
Open regedit by typing regedit into start->run
then navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/
SOFTWARE/
Microsoft/Windows/
CurrentVersion/Explorer
now create a key(KEY not VALUE!!) called DriveIcons under Explorer...
now within DriveIcons, create another key with the drive letter you want to change (e.g.,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\K)
...
create another key within the drive letter key called DefaultIcon...
now set the default String value equal to the icon you want to use. if you have a file that has more than one icon in it, such as a DLL file, use the standard
C:\full_path\icon_file.dll,n
<<./icon.ico.
same on the root.
ENJOY, this works on 98 too!!
