I have a question about Customize 
Drive Icons:


Windows XP: The Method that seems to truly work

My specific set-up:

I have a network drive, shared accross a bank of computers, used a a very low-security 
(in the room anyways) file server.  I wanted the network mount (S:\) to show my custom 
icon (S:\SFS-ICON.ico)

The key I messed with :

\\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2

in here, you will find all your drives listed, for network shares it looks like :

\##HOSTNAME#SHARENAME\

in this key, create a new key named "DefaultIcon"

set the default value of the new key to the full path (and index if nessasary) of 
your icon file.  The first icon in the file is index 0.  i.e., my value is

"S:\SFS-ICON.ico,0"

Works right away inside of things like open and save-as dialogs, for explorer to 
pick it up, a reboot is nessasary.
