Drive Icon - Change

Ah, I think I see what's wrong now. The icon works just fine for me, but I noticed you had "My Pictures" instead of "Pictures" for the user folder name. When you press and hold Shift, right click on the icon file, and click on Copy as path, you get the location below when you paste it in the registry.

"C:\Users\ebarnichta\Pictures\Porsche.ico"

You're most welcome Edmon. I'm happy to hear it's working for you now. :)

Hi,

I'm also having trouble with the icon change. I tried both changing it for the user as well as on the machine. I only have one internal HDD, D is a soft partition and is NTFS, so there should be no errors about it.

I use a autorun.inf with shell32.dll on my external so I know that it's nothing to do with permissions for the shell32 file.

Here's a screenshot... Thanks for any help possible!

Hello Jayce, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Well, you did everything correctly except that there is not a icon with the 87 number in the shell32.dll file. This is why you are getting the default icon instead. What icon were you wanting to use in this file? You can download and install (using Run as administrator) the free program IconViewer to add a Icons tab in the Properties page of files that contains icons in them.

If you mean this icon below, then you would want to use this path below instead with the imageres.dll file instead. The shell32.dll file mostly has the smaller icons instead of the full size 256x256 in it.

C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,-115

You're most welcome Jayce. :)
