I have a question about Customize
Drive Icons:
I have Win2kPro, and the solution to changing the icons does not work for me, I have
tried a number of different combinations, and luckily I have a .ico file. Any ideas?
Anyone else having this problem?

In side the registry goto
hcu\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints
in this tree you will find a list of all your drives by letter
select the drive you which to fix A
and enter a string with the following name and value
Name: _HasNotif Value: ""
you can do this for all of your drives , and then the
will function like they did in windows 9x days
also set the NoDriveTypeAutorun to 91 to allow the floppy to work.
hope this helps,

Another way to change the drive icons, as well as the labels of all your drives,
even floppy drives and cd drives with no dics inserted, is this:
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer
make a new key called DriveIcons
Inside this key, make a new key called C (for C drive).
In the C key, make two new keys, one called DriveIcon and DriveLabel.
In the default value for the DriveIcon key, type the path to the icon you want, and
for the DriveLabel, type the name you want to call it.
Then make keys for all of your drive letters
This works for all the drives connected to your system, the labels only show up if
you havent labelled the hard drive in the disk properties.
Just thought I'd show another way ;)
Cheers
Mark
