Multimedia Card drive icons in Window Explorer

John Howard writes: "So hands up everyone who's built their own MCE machine - particularly those who have MSDN, for example, and like to "test" :) And... for those MCE machines, keep your hands up if you've bought one of those multi-function media devices which fits into a floppy-drive-sized bay (I can't think of the name) which allow you to plug in SD/CF cards etc. And... Still keep your hands up if the devices show up in explorer as boring drives rather than the image below. Obviously, this isn't specific to MCE machines, so I'm sure lots of you have those reader things in XP machines too."

"Well, if you're in that position, here's how many of the OEM builders change the icons - it's a simple tweak in the registry.
You basically need to change information under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\, replacing with E, F, G, H etc.
The subkeys are DefaultIcon and DefaultLabel, both REG_SZ." (more)
