Guest nellie2 Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 what do you mean by drive icon setup. Is it pictures to change the way the drives look in your control panel? What were the instructions once you had rebooted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 If you install Registry Robot - Ziff-Davis PC Mag free utilityUnder Windows Explorer - Appearance - It lets you change the drive icons for C D E +F to whatever you want by browsing.So for any fixed drives - the registry entries it affects would appear to be ?e.g for CIn Registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\driveicons\C\DefaultIcon, add or change the value named (Default), changing its current data of (none) to a user-specified value.So do the same for whatever fixed drives you have ?????For any removable drives - in their root put the icon and an autorun.inf file saying [AUTORUN]Icon="(path)\(name)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
