That’s all you have to do for setting it up.
Once you have done that, copy over the ICO file to the root of the flash drive also. Now make sure to save this file at the root of your device. Then go ahead and type in autorun.inf into the File name box. Firstly, click on the drop down box next to Save as type and choose All Files. In the Save dialog, you need to change two things. Step 4: Now that you have the file ready, we need to save it properly as an INF file. You can actually change the name of the icon file if you want to anything you like as long as you put that same name in the third line of the of autorun.inf file. If you do happen to run into an issue using a complicated label, then try putting quotes around the label name.Īs you can see from the third line, the file just tells Windows the name of the icon file it wants to use as the drive icon. It seems that you can also add a label with spaces or even apostrophe’s and it still works. Otherwise, you can just type anything you want there. If you only care about the custom icon, you can just remove the second line that starts with label completely. Step 3: Now copy the text below and paste it into the Notepad file. To create the file, first go ahead and open Notepad. This is basically a configuration file that all versions of Windows automatically recognize and will use to set up the connected device. Step 2: Once you have an icon file that you can use for your USB drive, we then need to create what is called an Autorun.inf file. Seems like the minimum size for the icon file has to be 64×64 pixels. I tried to use a size smaller than 64×64, but it would not work in Windows 7.
In our case, you’re going to want to choose Exactly from size and then type in 64 for width and height. You’ll get a bunch of results for icons of all sizes and types, but the awesome part is that you can filter the search results based on size, type, time, color, etc.
