Customize Pen Drive/Flash Drive Icon

After a long time I'm going to give a simple easy trick. In previous posts I gave you some easy tricks to use in Windows Operating System. So this is one of the simple trick for Windows.
When we connecting a USB Pen Drive to our computer we see an icon like pendrive. So this is boring, common icon that we see always when pendrive connected to the computer.
Now I tell you How to Change the Pen Drive icon easily.

First choose an icon you like and paste it into the Pendrive.
Now rename it as "Icon".
Now open the Note Pad and paste below code in it.

[AutoRun]
icon=Icon.ico,0

If there is a space between the above two lines please remove it.
Now save it in your Pendrive as AUTORUN.inf (Name it as AUTORUN.inf).

Now hide these two files. (Icon file and AUTORUN.inf)

Then remove your pen and connect it again. See what happened to your pen drive's icon.

Now it's was changed that you chose.

When you connect again pen to your computer, may be your virus guard will detects AUTORUN.inf as a virus. But it is not a virus.
