How can I change the default device icons that display in My Computer? I want
to use custom icons for my individual cameras, printers, and scanner. Is
there a freeware, Windows scripting, or registry hack solution out there for
this?

Just place an autorun.inf file in the root of drive... For example, if you want to
change the icon of your D:\ Hard Disk Partition :

Open D:\
Make a new file named autorun.inf
Open it in Notepad
Put following lines :
[autorun]
Icon=C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,34

Save , close
Reboot
 
Thanks, but I was not trying to change a hard drive. I want to change the
icon for peripheral hardware, like individual printers or video cameras.
