Hi
how to change the partition icons.
indicate a free software or show me how to do it through reg
thanx
 
You can do it by putting a autorun.inf in the root of your drive. This should be the content of that file:

[autorun]
icon=icon.ico

The icon should be placed in the root of the drive also.
 
C:\
D:\
Don't put it into any folders. (I think)
Try it & see what happens. You can always move it.
 
sorry it did'nt work
i have a partition E:
i put an icon A.ico on that partition and created an autorun.ini file.
and wrote the content like this

[autorun]
ico=A.ico


whats wrong

icon=A.ico
and try, that should work
 
Alright guyz.Its done.Thanks for the help.

But How about floppy dirve and cd rom icons.How can i change them?
 
Since the floppy and CD-ROM drives are dynamic drives, you can put icons in two ways: With the floppydrive it works just like the harddrive. But, since the floppy isn't immediately read when the floppy is inserted, I think you have to open the A: drive before Windows sees the autorun.inf file. But I am not sure if that works.

The CD-ROM drive works just like the floppydrive, but it does read the CD when inserted, so you can see the icon immediately.

When you want to change the drive-icon permantely, you can use a lot of freeware programs that can do that for you, but be warned: the autorun.inf file overides those settings, so if you just made a general icon for the CD-ROM drive, it won't be visible when a CD-ROM with an autorun.inf file is inserted. Again, I am not sure about the floppydrive.

edit: with permanent drive icons I mean the icons that are visible when nothing is inserted.
 
Ya i also meant permanant floppy & cd rom icons. i.e when there is no floppy or cd inserted.
How to change them.
i have used microangelo but it doesn't work.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
