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!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\A]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\A\DefaultIcon]
@="%systemroot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,193"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\A\DefaultLabel]
@="Secure Digital Card"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\D]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]

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.
