Create Custom Flash Drive Icons

Create Custom Flash Drive Icons

To make your USB flash drive show up in Windows with a custom icon follow these steps:

First find an .ico file you want to use. Favicons from websites work
nicely, for example. Here is a <a
href="http://www.tech-recipes.com/favicon.ico"link to the tech-recipes
favicon if you would like to use it.

Next, name your your .ico file autorun.ico and put it in the root of your drive.

Then create a text file with notepad called autorun.inf in the root of the drive and put this inside it:


[autorun]
icon=autorun.ico



(You can actually name the icon anything you want as long as you put the correct filename in the autorun.inf file).

Now, whenever you plug it into a Windows machine, it will show your custom icon!
