i want to change the look of my hard drive icons.

i am aware of different types of programs to change the look and feel of xp.

but i just want to change the look of the hard drives. not the entire xp.

Yup,

I hv seen simonsay's hard drive icons and they look really nice. I think

he is activating or changing them during runonceEX.cmd.

Also look for a place where i can get cool looking icons. FREE

It easier to just hack your own shell32.dll

To Change The Hard Drive You Have To

Change Icon 008 or 009 in shell32.dll

To Change My Computer Icon Change 001 Icon In Explorer.exe.

yes, u can use anything 2 "hack"

hack = modifying the file 2 suit your needs *customizing*

open shell32.dll in the program, browse 2 the place where the icon is stored (009 gunsmokingman said) :P

right click, replace resource, browse 2 the icon u want there instead :)

Why do you want that much of trouble ? :P

Just place an autorun.inf file in the root of your partitions.

[AutoRun]
icon=%windir%\icons\HDD.ico

That the short way it correct but you need to do this also

copy the file to a new folder on your %systemdrive%\WHATEVERNAME

This is so you can save the file, after making any changes. If you try to change any of Windows Files in

Windows It will not save.

try this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
""="c:\\icons\\local disk.ico"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]
""="c:\\icons\\local disk.ico"

that works, but i altered your code

@="c:\\WINDOWS\\Resources\\icons\\System\\hdd.ico"

instead of

""="c:\\WINDOWS\\Resources\\icons\\System\\hdd.ico"
