There Are two ways to change the Drive Icon
1) The Manual way
Generally i Avoid to Download the Application or software (Tool) to Work Around Such Thing .
That opens up opportunities to learn and also know what actually happens. So, this one should be interesting. Follow the steps to change any drive icon manually.
Step 1 :- Select an icon for your drive and paste a copy of the same at the root of the drive whose icon you desire to change. Take note of the file name. Say for example, it is TV.ico.
Step 2 :- Launch Notepad and insert the code shown below (as-is) with the difference that you should replace mydriveicon with the name of your icon file.
The file I created contains the code as shown in the image below. I replaced mydriveicon with TV as an example.
Step 3 :- Save this file in the same location i.e root of the concerned drive. You should save the file with the name autorun.inf. Ensure that All Files type is selected when you save the file, else it will end up saving it as a text file.
The above steps mean you should have two files in the root of the drive – the icon, and the autorun file.
Step 4:- Restart your machine and you should be able to see the change. Check out the image to see my new drive icon.
Note :- This process wil not work with External Derive . And if you Ever Wish to Revert , just Remove These files and Restart your pc or laptop .
