Change the icons of Drives

Change the icons of Drives All
the Xp users would have been
bored by the boring icons in

their My Computer panel
which are adjacent to the Hard disk
drives(C:,D: or
whatever drive letter you
have).
-Here is a simple tweak by
which you will be able to
change this monotonous icon to
anything you like,even
your own Picture if you wish
You can put any image in
place of one which I have
shown,even the picture of
your favourite celebrity or your
dream caror your own
Picture.
-Here are the steps you need
to follow:
1.First of all the picture you
want to use should have .ico
extension(if you already have
a pic with .ico extension
proceed to step 2).Most of
the pictures we normally use
have extensions
like .jpg,.bmp,.png..gif etc, so you
first need to convert
them to one with .ico
extension.This is simple.Just
go here
converthub.com/
and put your original
image in the ‘Source Image
’section,then click on ‘Generate
Favicon.ico ‘
button to get your image
with .ico extension.
 

2.Now go to My Computer.
Suppose you want to put this
icon in place of your original C:
image. Double click and
enter C: .Paste your .ico
image file in it.Also create a
new text file and in it type
the following lines: [autorun]
ICON=favicon.ico Remember that
‘favicon.ico’ in the
second line is the name of
your image file.If you have
an image file with .ico
extension by the name of
‘abc.ico’,then use that in the second
line in place of
‘favicon.ico’.
 

3.Now rename this text file
as ‘ autorun.inf ‘ (without
the quotes). Important
Note:How do I rename my text file
as autorun.inf ?Ans.
Go to Tools-Folder
options.Under the View tab
uncheck the ‘Hide extensions
for known file types’.Press
apply. -Now rename your text file
as ‘autorun.inf’.
4.Now restart your Pc.You
are done.Check out the cool
new picture you have just
added in your My computer panel.
