Its the window for me, while clicking "MY Computer" ( Not "Your Computer" wink.gif he he! Just Kidding)
Ok, Do you like to put your own Icons for each and every Drive in your computer?
( You can use seperate icons for the CDs also,
and u can see the same icon, for the CD, if you use it in any computer around!!)
Yes.. Its one simple thing to put the icons!!

I will explain how to put those icons!

Steps:

Step 1:
Get some cute icons for the drives!

Step 2:
Open Notepad and type the following:

[autorun]
icon=IocnFileName.ico

Step 3:
Save the notepad with file name: "autorun.inf" (without quotes)

Step 4:
Copy both the files (Icon File & autorun.inf) to the drive ( eg: C:\ , D:\ , E:\ etc)
You can put the same files while writing CDs also ( Do not put autorun.inf inside any sub folders)

Step 5:
Open My computer and just refresh ( For windows XP, you need to restart the system in order to see the change )
