Hard Drive (C:) Icon change

[DBarras]

I just place this in my registry edits

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\windisk.ico"

Then I place the icon I want in the $OEM$\$$ folder.

Looks like this when done.

windisk.ico

Where do I put that code before doing an .iso? So when the .iso is made the icon stays that way?

Thanks!

Make a file called cmdlines.txt and place it in your $OEM$ folder. Add these lines of code.

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S regkeys.reg"

Then make a file called regkeys.reg and place it also in your $OEM$ folder. Add these lines of code.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\windisk.ico"

Then make your .iso

EDIT: This also works for other drives as well, you can change the \DriveIcons\$ value to anything you want and change your CD Drive Icon, etc.

@kandy: You have to add the key.

The reg key is not needed for Windows default drive icons, only when you customise them.

Likewise ofr a lot of reg tweaks and policies.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of these I need a key for the registry
