Flash drive icon just changed into an ordinary drive icon
My Belkin USB flash drive icon which was a very recognisable one of a
usb thumb drive, just changed into an ordinary drive icon. I suspect I have lost the autorun.inf file. I can create another one but can anyone tell me where I would find a thumb drive icon to suit? Many thanks. -- Robert

Many thanks. -- Robert If you don't have an autorun.inf file, XP will do the best it can using default icons. If you delete it or format your device, the file will probably be deleted. I changed my removable device icon to a giant thumb by creating an autorun.inf on the removable drive and putting my icon file out there with it: [autorun] icon=bigthumb.ico

Two sentences and an example that works is not a big deal to fix an irritating issue.

Flash drive icon just changed into an ordinary drive icon
Some tips:
Search for icons: http://images.google.ca/images?as_st...=Search+images Convert the image file to an icon: http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php and/or: http://www.zamzar.com/ AutoRun (& Autorun.inf) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun...torun.inf_file ju.c "Robert M Jones" wrote in message ...
