How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive in XP?

I had to reformat etc and when settled dust that I can not put an icon on my external hard drive from seagate 1 t. It's not bad but it drives me crazy because it seems that it does not...

Using Notepad, create a file with the following content

[autorun]
ICON = localpath\iconfile

Save the file as autorun.inf (be sure to set "Save as type" in the drop-down list for "All Files" box).

  • IconFile is a file with the file extension ico icon.
  • LocalPath is the file (or folder and subfolder, etc.), without a drive designation.  So, for example, if there is a folder in the root of the named Seagate external drive, and you have an icon named seagate.ico file, the line in your autrorun.inf file would be:

Icon = Seagate\seagate.ico

Note that the square brackets in the first line should be included
The autorun.inf file is usually a hidden, but making it so is yours.

  • How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive that is displayed in my computer

    When I double click the icon my computer on my Seagate external desktop hard drive does not display the correct icon. It displays a blank page with the upper right handed with a superimposed replica of a small screen.  I really want to show an icon that looks like the real thing as stated in the icons folder.

    Hi PhilipRoebuck,

    (1) do you get an error message when you try to open the external hard drive?
    (2) where there are changes to the computer before the question?
    (3) is confined to a specific icon?

  • Change the icons associated with files - it is still possible; It was child's play.

    How can I change the icon associated with a file? For example, if I change the default program for an .ini file, the default icon of a page with a gear in the corner becomes a simple page and I'd rather the icon does not change... just the program I use to open the file. In the previous veersions of Windows, if you want to change the icon associated with a file, you could simply enter properties and continue. Please advise on how to adopt this change of WinVista Home Premium.

    It is not easy and involves editing the registry (this is far from as easy it was XP, that's why you're having trouble).  Here is the procedure: http://www.webtlk.com/2009/03/20/how-to-change-the-icon-assiciated-with-a-file-in-windows-vista-and-windows-7/.  I recommend before starting that you back up your registry database just to be safe.  Here's how: http://www.adamsdvds.co.uk/tutorials/vista/regedit/backup.php.

  • How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive

    How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

    TIA

    Hi Benyl,

    The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

    To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

    Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

    Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

  • How can I change the data stored with JDeveloper Java classes?

    Hello!
    First of all, I am experienced PL/SQL coder, but I'm quite beginner what comes to Java.
    JDeveloper is also a new tool for me and the reason why I am interested, it's the good Java Editor.
    With the good Java editor I can create classes and store them in the Oracle database and executing those inside PL/SQL code.

    I am currently faced with a minor problem, and I'm not able to find the answer to this:
    How can I change/edit/create stored with JDeveloper, Java classes to database (Toad for Oracle can do but it's not good editor Java)?

    I can navigate to Java classes with database browser, but I can't change those. Just view and drop it.

    JDeveloper is not a direct modification of the classes inside the database. Instead, you must change your java classes locally (including the management of versions, unit tests etc.) and then load them into the database. Load in the datab ase could be done using the Loadjava and the deployment profile stored procedure Java (file-> New-> General-> profiles of deployment-> Loadjava and Java Stored Procedures). I think it's even better let your build tool do the work. An example of task of Ant describing this is shown at http://davidmoten.blogspot.com/2007/11/oracle-loadjava-ant-task.html (I have not tried this, but have used a similar approach in a project)

    Hello

    You cannot change the style of the icons. It comes to the way they were designed.

    However, you can certainly change the background color of the PDF.

    Launch player > Acrobat > Edit > preferences > accessibility > tick 'Replace colors in the document' > select a different color of the Page Background option > click OK.

    Restart Acrobat/Reader and then see.

    DiskPart

    then, type diskpart

    list disk

    take note of the correct disc ID to clear

    type

    Select disk x

    (where x is the ID of your disk to erase)

    type

    clean

    your HARD drive will be erased completely
