iconphile

try this free software and easy to use, btw use the pinned thread 1st

if you want to change hard drive icon manually, it's kinda hard.
anyway i'll teach you.

1. firstly, open your notepad and type the following:
   
   ---------------------------------------------------
   [autorun]
   icon=filename, number
   ---------------------------------------------------
   
   where the filename is the name of the file that contain an icon (either with .ico, .exe, .dll extension), while the number represent which icon you want to use. (leave it blank if you want to use the first icon though).
   
   
2. after that save it as autorun.inf in the root directory of hard drive you want to change.

anyway, like beebee sez, use iconphile or candyxp, easier.

use candy xp .. tq to ijat for providing the link to it ..

Freak`

err ijat84 pro win xp...@@

yo,thanks so much for the help.. now its more like bye-bye windowsblinds...hehe

Sometimes im wondering y that theres are so many useful software that can make ur life easier but u wana choose the hard way....Cant really understand... But anyway, thats ur choice...

LOL who knows...there's all kinds of ppl out there...

IconPackager is one of the best software I've used so far. Does not work with IE7 tho. Icons will revert back to orginal windows icons.

Guess maybe the softwares will slow down the startup a little like Windows Blind...

yeh i agree wit u.. iconpackager easier way to change ur icon. just drag and apply

iconpackager wouldn't slow leh.... Window blind indeed will slow but icon wont...

Unless you didn't rebuild the icon cache after you've change the icons.

i don't get it.. where is the root directory??

hmm..
example,
if your hard drive letter is C,
save autorun.inf in C:\

Ijat,


Only .ico, .exe, .dll??
How about shortcut or picture?

^ yep, only that kind of extension
if you want to use picture, just convert it into ico..

^ Thanks! I just manage to find one freeware and very flexible~*
It worked for the pendrive...

what is the program??

Ah, I think I should rephrase my sentence.
I found an Icon builder that is freeware that worked perfectly to create my own icon
Not the program to change the pendrive icon

What program is that which can create ur own .ico?? Can share?? hehe..
