How to have icons appear next to your memory card

I am doing my entry on how to have icons appear next to your media drive.

Here is a picture of what it will look like when your done

So here is what you must do

1. Download my .zip file with images and autorun file here on my brothers website or here but you must wait 10 seconds
2. Extract the zip file
3. open the folder you want, so if you want supercard SD picture just open the folder that says that
4. copy the autorun.ico and autorun.inf to the root directory of your memory card.
5. Now it will work. But you don't always want to see these files so now you must hide the files by right clicking on them, then click properties, and in the attributes section check hidden.

Now you have a nice Icon next to your media in my computer. Now try making your own with photoshop

. This should work on any type of memory card or removable media.

If you have an image you want next to it and you cant figure out how to make it into a .ico just pm me and I will convert it for you.

Here is a quick video on how to do it

This is just a suggestion, but I think it may help you out. You should use a screen capture program to get a much better looking video. Wink is a free program that'll do that. Heres a link. http://www.debugmode.com/wink/
