0 Display a shortcut of Removable Drives on desktop


Wonder How to Create Removable Drives Shortcuts Automatically on Windows Desktop.
I mean a shortcut icon of drives like USB drives, flash disks onto desktop when ever you connect it to you usb port, so that you can have a quick and fast access to the contents of the driveTo do so, I recommend the following free software. It supports almost all windows operating systems like xp, vista and windows 7 and also comes with many languages apart from english.Desk Drive™ solves a really annoying problem. You pop a USB thumb drive or DVD into your computer and then you have to open Window’s Explorer and find the mapped drive or folder. Desk Drive adds a desktop icon pointing to the drive automatically. Remove the media and the shortcut goes away. Brilliantly simple and effective.

0 Changing or Customize My Computer Drive Icon


In this trick i will show you how to change the drive icons that appear in Mycomputer.
For this you need an icon image i.e.; with extension "ICO" example "drivea.ico"
Copy the icon file to the root of the drive.
example: c:\drivea.ico

Then create a file called: autorun.inf in the root directory c:\autorun.inf.
Simply Right click->New->Text Document. Rename it to autorun.inf (.inf is Extension)
Next open that file and type the following:

[autorun]
icon=drivea.ico

Save and close the file.

Now open my computer and refresh.. and woh! icon changed....
you can apply to other drives too.

Note:
"autorun.inf" and "ico.ico" must be in the root of the drive.
example: c:\autorun.inf and c:\drivea.ico.
