use an autorun.ini to replace drive
icons and properties of the icons to change icons.
or...use an application like PE explorer (
http://www.pe-explorer.com/ )
to
view the contents of dll and exe files. With certain applications like
this
you can 'swap' icons, AVI and gif animations.
most icons for win xp are stored in C:/windows/system32/shell32.dll
the best way to find the icons you want is to right click one, choose
properties > customize [tab] > change icon and the address box there
indicates where the original came from.
Not all icons will work this way, system folders (virtual folders) and
HDD's
are some examples, this is why PE explorer comes in handy.

They can be stored in the DLL or EXE files.
Google icons you want to use, use an autorun.ini to replace drive
icons and properties of the icons to change icons.
