    • ]]>     I need to make a favicon for my website. Usually, favicon has *.ico extension. Meanwhile, my graphic software can’t generate it. And yes, I was googling for the answer and it pointed me to Dynamic Drive. Dynamic Drive is a web that provide a lot of javascript & css codes. They are available for free.

    To make an icon, from this tool is not difficult. You only need to upload your image. It must be in jpg, gif, bmp or png format. If you need to make it transparent, you should upload the image in gif or png format. The maximum file size is 150 KB.

    • ]]>     Flashdisk or thumb drive is a popular media storage. Cheap price with big capacity. Easy to bring everywhere. No special drive required to read it. We need only a USB connector which is generally available in nowadays computer. A lot of flash disk owner use default setting from the vendor. We can make our flash disk different with other user, by changing flash disk icon with our own image.
    1. Prepare your favorite icon. The file must have extension *.ico with size 16×16 or 32×32 pixels. I never try other image file type. If you have good sense of art, make your own icon. You can download icon maker software. There are free and commercial software. Another option, you can make icon online. Go directly to http://www.rw-designer.com/online_icon_maker.php to make your icon online. Save your icon to flash disk.
    2. Open notepad, copy paste code below. Save in your flash disk and name it autorun.inf.
      3. [autorun]
icon=D:\your_folder\your_icon_file_name.ico

      Attribute icon has icon file name value (with full path).

    Open windows explorer adn see your flash disk icon. If you can’t see your new icon, restart your PC.

    Result:

    daftar drive di komputer

    Flashdisk labeled DANI-FLASH has custom icon.

    thumb flashdisk

    Compare it with flashdisk labeled GWG.

    PS:
    I used M$ Windows XP SP2 Operating System. Never been tested in other operating systems.
