Icon Change... when IN USE...?

I have HP with one bay that has one of those multi-card readers for the memory cards and sticks... I'd like to have a icon of the SD memory card show when a SD memory card is inserted in the slot? (I have the icon of the SD Card... I know I can right click on the 'letter' of the Slot and substitute the Icon I have for the nothing that is there now... but, I'd prefer to have the SD Icon show only when the SD card is Inserted in the Slot.

Can someone point at where I can learn to do this? Thanks in Advance!

You need to create an Autorun.inf file at the root of the drive. You only need one line:
icon=iconfilename.ico

go here for more information about the autorun.inf file:

AUTO CD or MEMORY CARD ICON

So easy, even an idiot (ME) figured it out.
