Question Disk Icons

Hi

Does anyone know how to change the icon representing local drives in the "My Computer" Window? I have a USB flash card reader with 4 slots, each one appears as a separate drive with the same icon. The software that came with the reader has different icons showing which is memory stick, MMC, Smart media etc. and I would like to use them.

My PC showed these icons when I had windows 2000 installed by when I upgraded to XP they disappeared. Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Smile Solved

Problem solved.
Adding keys to the registry does work. I was adding string values to the drive letter keys. I should have been adding keys (DefaultLabel & DefaultIcon) to the drive key and filling in the default values of these keys.
