Code Snippet

TIP

• The registry path is located at: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons
• Keys for each drive are nested under that path with an additional sub-key (folder) named DefaultIcon
• Within the DriveIcons\<DriveLetter>\DefaultIcon\ key the (Default) key value is defined as a quoted absolute path to the ICO icon file on the hard drive.
