How to Change the Local Drive Icon with any Picture

How to create an Icon File of your image and use it as  drive icon


To create a .ico file of your image, follow the steps mentioned below

1. First create a 16 X 16 image file containing only your face.

2. Head over to this website and click the browse button to upload your image. Next click            “convert to ICO”  to get an icon of the image.






                                                             OR

                                 download icon converter software from here

3. Now you need to create an autorun.inf file and place the icon and the autorun.inf in your          drive

      We assume that the name of your icon file is myicon.ico

4. Open notepad and copy the following lines exactly

   [AutoRun]
  Icon=myicon.ico


   save it as autorun.inf to your drive which you wish to change the icon.

5. Copy the  myicon.ico files in 
your drive which you wish to change the icon.

6. Hide both the files in  drive so that you don’t delete them accidentally. Now restart your  computer. You will see your image as the drive icon as shown below




The icon is also shown on the auto play options as well as on the windows explorer. This trick

works in any computer as long as you keep both the files in the root of your  drive.This is also works in removable drives like pendrive 

this is done in any drive or folder to change icon of that..
