Rename and add an icon to your thumbdrive

Write a simple autorun file for your thumbdrive to assign a new icon and name.

Step 1 Step one - Write your autorun file.

Create a new notepad document. Inside it, copy this text:

    [autorun]

    label = "NAME"

    icon = "icon.ico"

Replace the word NAME in the quotes with what you would like your thumbdrive to be labelled.

Save this file into your thumbdrive as autorun.inf making sure that it does not have the extention .txt at the end.

Autorun.inf is now classified as malware by most anti malware programs and antivirus sw.
And it is not possible to edit anymore.. :(
Or delete as well...

Where do i open the autorun notepad?

[inforussle]

How would you find the root folder of the flash drive, or do you just save it to the flash drive?

[stranoster]

The root directory is just the folder like F:\ or G:\ etc. It's what you open when you open the thumbdrive.

In IconFinder you can download the icon in ICO extension, too.

Cool gadget, :D
