Tips & Tricks|Customize USB Drive Icons

[As you can see I have named my 320Gb WD Passport as TK-320 and put a stormtrooper icon on it, my 4Gb Pirate Nero drive is named NERO ]
If you have a lot of USB sticks or HDD drives (ATM: I have 17 and 2 respectively) it may become confusing which is which. Sure naming them would help but having a custom icon is way better :P
It’s pretty simple and straight forward.
Create a Text Document
Copy and paste this code (3 lines total):

[autorun]
icon=YOUR_ICON.ico
label=NAME_YOUR_DRIVE

Modify the code to fit your requirements
Save
Rename as autorun.inf
Copy autorun.inf and your icon file to the root (no folders) of your drive.
--

The next time you plug-in your device you should see your custom icon & drive name.

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509
