how do i change my hard disk drive and cd drive icon?

Answer 1

You can right click on the item on the desktop and go to properties...

OR

Go to control panel, display, desktop, customize desktop (at the bottom) and then you can change the icons.

Answer 2

I can give the following procedure: first right clik on an icon and select rename, change the icon name to say X. now click the icon of the cd drive icon and rename it as what ever name you want. Ok.. That is it. I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

Answer 3

Put an "Autorun.ini" file into the root dir of the disk, whose content is:

[autorun]
icon=xxx.ico

That will change the icon of a CD

OR

One easy way is to give the following registry key:
First make a new key with the name "DriveIcons" (without quotes in the path specified in the registry address below) then inside that make a new key for the drive whose icon you want to change. For example if its C drive's icon that you want to change, make a new key "C" inside DriveIcons. Then inside C make one more key "DefaultIcon". Finally inside this new key create a new String value with the full path of the program's icon that you want as your drive icon. See my case below. (note, you can use only *.ico or *.exe or such program extensions for your icons)
>>>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="D:\\BACK UP\\EXE BACKUP\\Pack_Longhorn_Inspirat_1.1_code56874.exe"

<<<

An easier way out would be simply copy everything between >>>/<<< and put it in a text file and save it with any name and .reg extension (save as type : "All Files"). Make the changes you want in the icon path, that's it. When you want to implement it, save the file, close it then double click on the file so that its written to the registry.
You can do this for all your drives but not before you make separate keys like D,E,F, etc. for each of your drives.
