I've found this registry file works on Windows 9.x, 2000 and both XP Home and Pro
versions...just ensure the path(s) are correct and merge away.
I also used 'regedit' for the run command and not 'regedt32'. I'm not sure of what
the difference is.
Maybe someone else does?
**NOTE**
You may not wish to change the drive icon for the CD/DVD drives if you want to see
or use any custom icons for the disks.

I’m trying to change the default icon for C and D drive. My code worked on

I also tried the Autorun.inf as described in this article but it did not work.
