Hi,

I'm trying to change the drive icon for my AR Ram Drive. I have used the registry method but it still shows a harddrive icon. I also have rebuild the icon cache but that also didn't work. What I'm I doing wrong ? I'm using it on a nLite created Windows XP installation with RyanVM update packs.

Kind regards,

John

registry should work..so you sure you have done it right...here is what I have for my I Drive..which is a LiteOn DVD

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\I]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\I\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\Icons\\DVDRW_LITEON1.ico"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\I\DefaultLabel]
@="LiteOn DVDRW-1653S"

here is a snapshot:

This is what I use in my registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\R\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\shell32.dll,12"

Could it be an AR Ram Drive issue ?

EDIT :

I have found the problem. AR Ram Drive doesn't make a volume of some kind. I think that's why it doesn't have an custom icon.

jroc,

I like your icons. Can you post your CDR(W) icons?

Thanks
