Sometimes when you put a CD in your drive the icon for the drive will change to what has been assigned to the cd. Does anyone know how this is done and how i can make my own CDs do this? -- ------ Brett ------ Brett |

To burn a CD for Windows which has its own icon, you need to create a short text file in Notepad with the name: "autorun.inf" This file should contain the following lines: [autorun] open=YOURPROG.EXE icon=YOURICON.ICO Replace YOURPROG.EXE with the name of the program which you want to run automatically when the CD is inserted (optional), and replace YOURICON.ICO with the name of a custom icon for the CD. This file must be burned in the root directory folder on the CD (if you locate YOURPROG.EXE in another folder on the CD, include a path to that, but don't use a drive letter - since that will vary between machines). Use an icon editor (e.g., IconForge) to make the .ico icon. Works best if the icon is a "multi-resolution" icon which contains 16x16x16-colors, 16x16x256-colors, 32x32x16-colors, 32x32x256-colors, 48x48x16-colors, and 48x48x256-colors.
