I HAVE THE ANSWER TO
 Customize 
Drive Icons:




I couldn't seem to get the autorun.inf to display the drive icons I had made for 
Windows 2000.  I wasn't about to give up easily, so I set out to find the answer. 
  After a lot of hacking in the registry and eventually resorting to Microsoft's 
online articles (ARGGH!) I stumbled across this: 
Microsoft 
Article.


This article had the answer, but (as with everything else with Microsoft) it was 
backwards.  They had directions specifically for Windows 2000 that didn't work, and 
the directions for every other Windows OS were the ones that worked.  (You can read 
the article if you don't believe me).  This is how you change the Drive Icons in 
Windows 2000:

1.Open Regedit
2.Edit the following key to change the drive letter on drive E: to be the icon named 
2000.ico in the root of the E: drive:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Software
        Microsoft
            Windows
                CurrentVersion
                    Explorer
                        DriveIcons
                            E
                                DefaultIcon
                                (Default) = e:\2000.ico


You may repeat this for as many hard drives on your system as you like.

Contrary to their instructions, this actually works and nothing else I have tried 
does.


Good Luck!
