A simple tip that changes your removable disks default icon in windows. The default removable disk icon is similar to windows hard drive icons.

You can customise the removable disks icon.

Steps to change the removable disks icon:

Choose an icon with .ico extension.

Tip you can create an icon from a .bmp by changing it to .ico

Create an autorun.inf using notepad and entering the text as shown below to display an icon to represent the removable drive.

Copy both files autorun.inf and the icon file to your removable drive and select both of them and make them hidden files to avoid accidentally deleting them.

Safely remove the drive and plug it back in.

Autorun.inf
[AutoRun]
Label= Name of Removable disk
Icon= Icon?s_Name.ico

Now you will have a Removable Disk with your choice of name and a picture.
