Another way to change the drive icons, as well as the labels of all your drives, 
even 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.


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
