Using your personal photos to create a personalized USB flash drive icon

USB flash drive has become our main mobile storage device, and it has more practical value than optical disc in many occasions. But when I see the disc on the disc, I can display the personalized icon in "My Computer", but the USB stick is still like the ordinary disk icon, without the slightest personality. In fact, we can apply this icon on the CD to the USB flash drive. Below we will show you how to use your photo as a USB flash drive icon.

First find a photo or other image of your own, and process it into a 30*30 pixel icon file in the format of ICO, and save the processed icon file to the USB root directory. Next, create a file called AutoRun.inf in the USB root directory, edit the file with Notepad, and type the following in it:

[autorun] icon=1.ico

1.ico is an icon file made with your own photos. After doing this work, we can unload the USB flash drive and re-plug it into the USB port for loading. After the driver is successfully loaded, you will find that the USB flash drive icon has become your own photo. For the convenience of use, we can also set the file attributes of the 1.ico and AutoRun.inf files to “hide", so that there is no difference between normal use and normal use.
