You know when you go to open a cd that is in your D drive, Is it possible to have a different icon or logo appear beside it instead of the geniric one?

I hope that made some sense?

Thanks

in the autorun.inf file:

[autorun]  
Open=autorun.exe  
**Icon=youricon.gif**

I would assume that would be it 🙂

I dont think the theme sets is what hes talking about. You’d need a resource hacker to go in and edit the application icon (its an icon embedded within the application/projector itself). Microangelo allows for this as does a free tool called… um I think its actually called “resource hacker” heh. Search around online and you might be able to find it or another tool that allows the same.

Autorun icons will change the CD drive icon but not the icon IN the CD; plus it doesnt sem to work for all systems (for some odd reason).
