Create keys under [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons]

as in this example

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\C\DefaultIcon]
@="%Windir%\\Web\\MyImages\\C.ico"

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]
@="%Windir%\\Web\\MyImages\\D.ico"

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\E\DefaultIcon]
@="%Windir%\\Web\\MyImages\\E.ico"

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\F\DefaultIcon]
@="%Windir%\\Web\\MyImages\\F.ico"

the "%Windir%\\Web\\MyImages\\F.ico" is referring to an icon in (by default) C:\Windows\Web\MyImages\F.ico

the MyImages Folder has to be made by you, and the F.ico is a file of what you want to change the drive icon to.

if you wish to do this unattended... put the Web Folder (with the MyImages folder and the f.ico file) in $OEM$\$$
