USB stick icon

wsh · 14 May 2006 at 22:34

I would like the standard icon that comes up when I put my USB stick in to be replaced with an icon of a USB stick. I have been looking for a while to find an icon of a USB stick and cannot find one. Can anyone help and does anyone know how I can change the icon in my computer?

Right-click and save as: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~chrismox/icon.ico

Copy the icon to your stick and then add a file called "autorun.inf"

Put the following in the autorun file and then the icon will come up when the stick is plugged in:

[autorun]
icon=icon.ico

Thanks Chris, worked like a charm. Where did you get your icon package from?

I can't remember but I don't think it was part of a package - I think I just Googled for a USB icon.

Glad you like it

Nice little trick

I hid the files too when I did it on my sticks.
