To change ( C:, D:, E:) drive’s icons



When you apply theme. You almost noticed that like other things the drive icons are changed, you know you can change it manually. Here I tell you that how can you do that:

Open “registry editor”  ( open “Run” and type “regedit” press enter)

Now click these folders

  1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
  3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
  4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
  5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
  6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer



Now right click on the right pane and select “New” and select “Key”
Name it “DefaultIcon”

Click on DefaultIcon key ( It look like folder) and right click on right pan. Select “New” and “Key” . Name it “C” ( as you want to change icon of C: drive).

With clicking on “C” key make an other key name it “DefaultIcon”

When you click on “DefaultIcon” key you’ll look “Default” key on the right pane (it will be other type of key called “string” key)
Double click on it and give path of your icon. E.g: F:\Icons\myicon.icon


Restart your computer and open My computer look! C: drive’s icon is changed.
