Changing Drive Icons using VB6

Description:
This article Explains How to change Drive Icons. this is tested in Windows 2000.

By editing the Registry values we can change the drive icons.
For example : If you want to change Drive E icon. Create the Registry value as follows:

HEKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\DriveIcons\E\DefaultIcon\

when you create above named key, it automatically create a strin named "Default" with value not set.

so, set the value to the the path of the icon.

that changes the drive icon of the Drive E.

If you want revert back the default Icon, just delete the value of "Default" String or Just delete the above Registry Key.


Hope it helps you.
