How to Change a Drive Icon in Vista and Windows 7

[Mrskilldude]

mabey talk about how to do it. not talk about an other vid that no1 cares about!

[BrokenBluePhat]

folderchanger makes you pay so dont do it its retarded.

[libycsirk]

when I created the new key application.. it wont expand... pls help

[DJCool72]

@libycsirk Just highlight the new key/folder you created & create a new key inside of it so that it now will be expandable..

So if you had to create 'explorer.exe' key of course it will not be expandable cos there is nothing in it;but if you highlight that folder & create a new key 'Drives' it will be created inside that folder hence making 'explorer.exe' expandable..

Had me stumped for a while too,well for 30 secs till I realised what was going on..

Also thanks to Nick for the video..

Cheers

Worked perfectly for me under Vista Home Premium 32bit. I am always very nervous about going into the reg. but I just followed the instructions a bit at a time and now I have my new drive icon.

Many thanks for sharing this video.

[SonicMusic1]

there's another easy way i found is to use "folderchanger" . It changes hard drives, flashdrives, etc easily by using mouse dragging. Google search for "folderchanger" to find it

[djduncs132]

Didn't work. Did exactly what you said, I'm not a retard. It just didn't work.

I'm on 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium

Have SanDisk flash drive w/ stupid ClubSandisk. Deleted the program, which in turn messed up the icon for the drive. Went through your tutorial in Win7 and WinXP, didn't get it to work. Does it have anything to do with the autorun for the flash drive?

[CaptainSlow202]

@johnmpc94 With flash drives you need to edit the autorun.inf file, which is probably hidden. It will have a line that says

icon = something.ico

Put a new icon in the root of your flash drive, change that line to whatever your icon's filename is, and save it. You'll need to safely remove and plug your drive back in. It should work.

[alexatkinsonpk]

anyone know how i can do this on more than one folder, i.e ive got a new C:\ logo and now i want a new E:\ logo... etc

[lonelyboy323]

[BewareOfTheSpy]

Hi,Nick,now says in the Default location for Applications (value not set) and so even after adding Drives, D and Defaulticon I can't get it to bring up my D dirve so I'm still unable to change my Icon, If you could help me out that would be great,

regcure is a scam program. it just give you fake error and force you to pay to fix the error.And use wot for safely browsing internet without sowing your memory down.

sorry for bad English.

[Azndragon732]

how do you expand the new keys?

[aboodankaboot]

Dude this is awesome!

It works on all and any drives so long as you create a new drive key and a new DefaultIcon key just as you said!

I'm using windows 7 and I cannot believe it worked on the flash drive too!

Thanks heaps!

[Psyrix21]

Thanks so much, this helped out alot, cause i had my drive icons screwed up for months, and was never able to figure it out....but cause of this, i had all the folders. but where the file location was, there was no files.

[MrOne2watch]

thanks it works great, im assuming that if i want to use another icon for another drive. i need to create another folder and name it d/f/... and put it in the same place folder C

is in correct?

[quadsnipable]

[killersheep92]

[billymine130]

You are the best ! thank you so much. but how to chane default icons in " My Documents" you know .. my music, my pictures... or how to change icons per file type ? that would be nice .

[moderncolin]

yo nice one !!but dose it only work for them ones or can i cnange all of my default icons ther aswell av done most of them but cant do libraries and others?

[maxoomen]

thanks!

[HaywardJack]

Nice Intro!

[MiniDoctor569]

Thank you so Much Nick! All the others never worked for me so thanks so much!

[Doosam94]

ok i know you have windows 7 but you said that its like basically the same thing. do you know how to fix a error on vista that says "page failed to load" on the personalization?? it would really help

[7MeetsNick]

@Doosam94 That error means you installed something for 32 bit when you have 64bit windows vista. In order for that error to go away and be solved you need to insert your Vista disc and start the repair process.

[Doosam94]

@7MeetsNick it wont let me delet the file. its that dreamscene thing... it says i cant delete even though i did the full control thing...

[7MeetsNick]

@Doosam94 Ya don't remove the file do a repair from the windows vista disc.

[Doosam94]

@7MeetsNick ok does it delete stuff??

[7MeetsNick]

@Doosam94 No

[Fhyros]

@7MeetsNick u know how to change every icon including folders using a simple software and also how to put a background image on folder like windows xp..i'm using win7 right now..

[johnnysk8s88]

lol so u on a slow computer or what

[7MeetsNick]

@johnnysk8s88 no not at all i love my laptop.

[andrewwk6]

for ae tutorials go to videocopilot . net. that guy knows almost everything about that program. you rock btw!

and for all you people if you want a great free icon saver for windows and mac check out a program called icofx. you can make any design in your prefered program, photoshop, ilustrator, etc, and then import that image to icofx. be sure that the file is a png if you want transparency.

[CMDProductionsTM]

nice vid, and look man, im sorry about the clan shit. I just felt we were going nowhere. good luck to ya

[juggernaut94]

Nooby After Effects intro. lol

[7MeetsNick]

@juggernaut94 Calm your shit lol this is my first time ever using AE woo cs5 comes out in 6 days!

[juggernaut94]

@7MeetsNick I wasn't spazzing, I was just laughing at the generic particles w/ 3d trans. That's still pretty good for a first render. Also, I can't wait.

[7MeetsNick]

@juggernaut94 got any sites I can go on for tutorials?

[juggernaut94]

@7MeetsNick Well, the obvious Videocopilot and adobe's tut site are the usual ones I hit up for tips. I usually play around with crap I learn from there. Never ever use a tutorial's demo output (the thing your making) as a final. Take it an make it better, if not, it's basically plagiarism (just saving you from future flames). VC also has some great 3ds max tuts (not many).

[lSlHaDoWzZ]

which former OpTic?

[Nelsonguevara]

lol you need get in shape. ha running out of breathe while talking isnt good!

[7MeetsNick]

@Nelsonguevara lol dude I really don't know why that was happening. Could have been from my surgery last June. Have those metal bars in for 2 more years.

[drunkenbozo1994]

@7MeetsNick oh well then that seems justified!
