Hey everyone,

I just discovered the coolest thing and had to share it.

I have Secure Digital Cards and Compact Flash cards and I hate how they all show up as Removable Drives in XP. Well, I discovered a way around this!

Here's how. Merge the following registry, reboot, and you'll have cool XP icons for those two drives.

Also note that my Secure Digital Card is A: and my Compact Flash is D:. If yours are different, then modify "DriveIcons\[Letter]".

Also note that "Shell32.dll,193" is Secure Digital and "shell32.dll,189" is compact flash.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately, you have to just count.

Create a shortcut from a folder and click Change Icon.
You will be in the shell32.dll. Then you have to count from the first one (which is 0) up. If you wanna use the Secure Digital Card, that would be a good reference point, you can then count down from it to the PCMCIA icon.

Hope that helps.

Guys Im having a problem, in my registry i dont have those entries. All I have is an E and under that is DefaultLabel which is Zip Drive. No other drive letters are there, and when i created those entries it doesnt work. I even created DefaultIcon for my E and it didnt change the icon that does show up for my Zip Drive. Any help would be great. Mainly i wanted to know if your A and D drives where there already in the registry of did you create it?

Those entries aren't there by default. You need to know what drive letter you want to make these changes to. Next open up the registry and if a DriveIcons key doesn't exist, you must create it by selecting Explorer, right click and select New Key. Name the Key DriveIcons.

Then select DriveIcons and right click and select New Key. Name this one the drive that you are trying to customize. Next add two more new keys under that one for DefaultIcon and DefaultLabel. Change the (Default) REG_SZ to the respective shell32.dll as mentioned above. Reboot your computer and you should see your result.

Hope that helps. If you are still having problems, send me you e-mail address, the drive letters you want changed and what type of drives they are, and I'll customize a registry file for you. You just have to double-click it and it will work.

I have multiple computers as well, and it works like a charm on my desktop computer. I have Windows XP Service Pack 1, but the articles that I've read said it works with Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. So I don't think it's just a tablet thing. I had to reboot after a change, I don't know what else to suggest.

I've written a program to do this. It also will change icons for the following types or drives, External Jazz, External Zip, PCMCIA, MMC/SD, Internal Zip, Super Floppy.

Hi tablet_phantom, do you know of a way to make the SD card reader recognise MMC cards as well, or is this not possible.

Sorry, for the late reply.

I'm not sure if you are referring to my program or to the Toshiba's hardware. If you are referring to my program, it uses the same icon for the SD card as it does for the MMC.

In terms of the Toshiba's hardware, the concensus from the forums is that the SD slot in the Toshiba does not support MMC and will probably not ever. I believe that it requires a different chipset or something that makes it MMC compatible. I know it's sort of stupid, but I believe there are some CF cards out there that you can insert an MMC into and it will work.
