I want to make my desktop look a little more to my liking, and that includes changing some of the icons. One of the icons I want to change is the shared drive icon:
I want to do this using the Registry to make the solution more portable.
I know that I can change some icons using the following key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons
In particular, keys 3
and 4
represent the folder icons:
Name Type Data(Default) REG SZ (value not set)3 REG_SZ s:\ico\places\folder.ico4 REG_SZ S:\ico\status\folder-open.ico
I’m guessing that there should be a setting for the above icon, but I can’t find any information anywhere on that.
Any ideas what the registry key for the shared drive icon is?
Edit:
I’ve been referred to the site https://winaero.com/change-drive-icon-in-windows-10-with-a-custom-ico-file/ which seems to work for the icons in the explorer, but the desktop icon doesn’t seem to be affected.
