Question about 'Customize Drive Icons'

I have a question about Customize Drive Icons:

The instructions in this article worked for me in Windows 98 and XP, but not on Windows 2000. Exact same system, exact same files... only Windows 2000 refuses to show the icons. Does anyone know why?

Crap... I even hacked the registry. I went to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\E (E being the letter of the hard drive) and added this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\E\DefaultIcon I then changed the value of the DefaultIcon to e:\2000.ico It worked fine until I rebooted and the registry changed itself back. Is there any way I can force the registry to keep the keys I add?
