Create two files

An icon file - drive.ico

An Autorun.inf file containing the following

Code:

[autorun]
icon="drive.ico"

Place both files in the root of the drive and reboot. The icon file can be called anything just match the name in the Autorun.inf file.



I know this is an old post, but I was trying to do this and even tried a third party program that just basically did this for you and it would not work for me no matter what. I finally got it to change my HD icons by doing the registry edit trick. I can post this info if anyone wants (or it might already be here on the tutorials!)

Interesting. It still works for me.

Can confirm the Autorun.inf method does still work, the only one that seems awkward is the CD/DVD drive icon but that can easily be changed in the registry.
I have spent many hours in Gimp and Blender constructing icons for my use, some 100% my work, other using other peoples work altered to suit me. There are a lot of icon sites available with free for personal use icons, just google.
Here's a few folders from my collection.

Nice icons.
