    Dear fellows , assuming that you know how to change HDD icons ,I ask why an icon index number greater than 48 in shell32.dll is not working . Is there any limitation ?
    For clarity I say that I am using windows xp sp2 and the method I am using is the autorun program :
    [autorun]
    icon=c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,52 saving as "c:\autorun.inf".
    With regards, spdCHF.

    You did know they stop at 49 and start again at 54?

    Could it be to do with that?

      Thanks for response ! Yes sir, I used the numbers and tried several such numbers in vain ! If you know any other syntax for the 'autorun' program help me .

      try using a negative value. This worked for me.
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
