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?

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.
