Bored with current default Icon or look for your removable drives Icon? Change it now. It is very simple.
Normally Removable device icon looks like normal drive letter. But the problem is when u have multiple drives, it creates more confusion while accessing it. So you need to open that drive or check its properties.
All removable drives have same icon style whether you have connected cameras, memory cards, or pen drives.
So let’s check how we can change these default icon for removable drives.
There are 5 simple steps as follows,
1. You need to find a good icon (as per your choice) which will represent or look like the removable drive. But make sure that the image has .ico extension. Or you can create a specific image in Microsoft print or any other photo editing tools and save that file as with .ico extension.
2. Now open a Notepad and type the below commands in that
[autorun]
Label=XYZ Drive
Icon=name of given file.ico
Here Label shows the name or text which u want to display in My computer and Icon shows the image file as drive icon.
3. Now Save this file as autorun.inf.
4. Now we have 2 main files autorun.inf and imageicon.ico. Copy both the files in your removable drive.
5. To save these files from deletion from any other person, you can make the hidden by selecting their properties.
Now all set, plug your drive to your system and see magic that you have done.
