Editing the registry to change removable disk icons

[Paul]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi all,

I've found out , that u can go here to edit what icons
appear for different things etc including removable
disks.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
explorer \ Shell Icons

I see you can use 7 to change removable disk icons.

Can you use/add more than 1 7 here (in the registry), if u have more than 1
removable disk??

I've got an Ipod, a 7-1 internal USB2 card reader, and a usb key, I have the
icons I want to use (atm, I've created a shortcut on the desktop in XP for
these).

BUT would like the icons for them to appear in My computer. NOT on the
desktop. Can u do this??

It just saves me clogging up the desktop with a different icon for the same
device in My computer.

Any info appreciated

Thanx

I forgot to mention, I use StyleXP.

BUT I can't seem to find any themes etc, that include icons for removable
disks.

Or would anyone know where I could some kind of file for StyleXP that does
the same thing?? As well as an icon
for a digital camera. And a digital video cam.
