View Ref-FileFAQ - How are user-defined drive icons installed?                     Thing

Q: How can I change those horrible drive icons?

A: Well I like them! ICONS.INF controls which icons are to be used for 
   which drives and can be edited manually once you understand the 
   structure of the file. Drive icons are indicated with the 4 character 
   IDRV token. For example:

   IDRV "Donald" C        -> Displays an icon labelled "Donald" as 
                             drive C:
   IDRV "FILESYSTEM" U,I  -> Displays icons labelled "FILESYSTEM" 
                             for drives U: and I:
   IDRV D,E               -> Displays icons for drives D: and E: with 
                             no icon labels

   It's much easier to use the 'Edit Icons...' option from the 'Extra' 
   menu to call the Thing Icon Manager, programmed by Holger Weets, 
   which provides a point and click utility (with Drag&Drop support) to 
   set the desired drives and icons.
