Change Removable Disk Default Look

The removable disks (both the CD/DVD or the pendrives) have a default look.
This icon of the removable drives (both the CD/DVD or the pendrives) can be changed by a simple trick. Follow the steps to change the icon ..

1) Select your favorite picture which you want to set for the icon of removable disk.

2) Save the selected image as anyname.ico (How to do is open the picture in mspaint. and save as anyname.ico). Make sure that selected image is small.

3) Open Notepad and copy the following code.

[autorun]
Label=ANYNAME
Icon=filename.ico

4) Here label indicates the name of your removable disk and icon indicates the name of your icon.

5) Now save the notepad file as autorun.inf

6) Copy both files (autorun.inf and Icon file) to your removable drive. You can make both files as hidden.

Now unplug the drive and connect it back to USB and now you can see the icon of your removable disk. That's it.
