Registry hack does work

Here's my registry entries and results. 

I made my own icons in PaintShopPro - 16x16x256, saved as .BMP, renamed to .ICO

You will have to edit the registry entries to match your own computer.

--------

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\D]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\dvdrom.ico"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\E]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\E\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\cdrw.ico"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\G]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\G\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\dvdram.ico"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\H]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\DriveIcons\H\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\dvdr.ico"

If you want the four icons I made, they are in this zip 
file, along with the above .reg file.
