When we open the My computer, we can see hard disk partitions, pen drives etc.Default icons of those are like below picture.
Everyday we can see the same icon.So sometimes it will be boring.Today i am going to teach you regarding the icon change of those drives.Perhaps you know this.But check this out.
Extension of icon files is .ico as you know.We can find beautiful icon in the internet.Otherwise We can put even our photograph as an icon.But for that we have to change the file type of that our photograph to .ico extension.For that we can use a software like Any to icon.
First of all copy the icon file to the partition which you want to change the drive icon.As an example now I want to change the icon of my E drive.So I copy the icon file to my E drive.(For this I used Any to icon software to change my photo to an icon file)
Now we need to create an Autorun file.For this go to Start --> All Programs --> Accessories and open the notepad.Copy the below code to the notepad.
[Autorun]
icon=infotec1st.ico
In this part, change your icon name with the name infotec1st.I have used infotec1st as my icon file name.It means you have to type your icon file name with .ico extension.To save this, go to File -- > Save As and from the save as dialog box type Autorun.inf as the file name.It means extension of this file should be .inf.Save As Type should be All Files and click the save button.
We have already finished our work.Hide both files and restart the computer.After that you can see that your dive icon has been changed like below picture
What do you think about this?I think it will be very useful to you.Okay good bye.We'll meet with another post.
