If you are bored seeing the default look of removable drives in Windows, here is a simple tutorial on how to change the default look. The Removable drive looks like this, without any customizations and its confusing if you have more than one drives connected to your PC.
The default look of Removable drives like USB pen drives, Memory cards for phones and cameras can be changes using these 3 simple steps.
1. First step is to find a good icon which will represent the removable drive. Make sure that the image has .ico extension.
2. Open Notepad. Type in whatever is given in the image.
Here Label denotes the text which you want to display in My Computer when the drive is connected and Icon represents the icon image name. Save this file as autorun.inf.
3. Copy both files (autorun.inf and Icon file) to your removable drive. You can make both files as hidden, if don’t want to see those files when you are connected to drive
Now unplug the drive and connect it back to USB and now you can see the effect of your customizations.
Have a look at the customizations of my removable drives (iBall USB drive and SE W700i cell phone 1GB drive).
