Hello
Why does this tweak not work on my WinXP Pro(Without SP1)?
Thanks
************************************************** **********
Change Drive Name and Icon
This tweak allows you to change the name and icon shown in Explorer for a
specific drive letter.
Open your registry and find the key below. If the key does not already exist
then create it.
Within the main key create a new sub-key with a single letter representing
the drive letter of the drive to be modified. (e.g. [HKEY...\DriveIcons\D])
Within the drive letter key create another sub-key called "DefaultIcon"
(e.g. [HKEY...\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]) and set the "(Default)" value to
equal the fully qualified name of the icon file. If the file contains more
that one icon follow it with a comma and the zero-based index of the icon
(e.g. "c:\icons\myicons.dll,4").
Create another sub-key within the drive letter key called "DefaultLabel"
(e.g. [HKEY...\DriveIcons\D\DefaultLabel]) and set it's "(Default)" value to
equal the label for the drive letter (e.g. "My ZIP Drive").
For example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Explorer
DriveIcons
D
DefaultIcon
(Default) = c:\icons\myicons.dll,4
DefaultLabel
(Default) = My ZIP Drive
You may need to restart Windows for the change to take effect, or press F5
to refresh My Computer.
Note: The "DefaultLabel" value only works with Windows 2000 and higher.
Settings:
System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\
DriveIcons]
Name: Default
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
