Method 1: Change Drive Icon Using Registry Editor

Open Registry Editor and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE

\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons. Right-click the

DriveIcons key and select New -> Key.

our example, we named the key to ‘D‘ as we’re going to set a custom icon for the

D: drive.


When the drive letter key is selected, use the similar method to create a subkey

named DefaultIcon. Next, double-click the (Default) entry in the right pane.


Click inside the “Value data” box, type the full path (surrounded by quotes) of the

.ico file you want to use as your new drive icon. Click OK.
example: "C:\1.ico"
