Windows 10: Change Drive Icons

Can you change the drive icons in Win 10? I did this in Win 8.1. In regedit -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURENTVERSION\EXPLORER, it won't let me type DriveIcons.

Hi Abdanbaist,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. We are glad to help you.



This issue might have occurred due to some virus on your computer.



So, I suggest you to enter safe mode with networking and check if the same issue persists.
Follow the steps to enter Safe mode with networking:

• 
  Open the Settings menu and go to
  Update & security > Recovery > Advanced startup. Clicking Advanced startup will restart your PC in recovery mode.
  
• 
  Click Troubleshoot to see your advanced options.
  
• 
  In the Troubleshoot menu, click
  Advanced options. Click Startup Settings to change Windows' startup behavior.
  
• 
  In the Startup Settings menu, click the
  Restart button to restart your PC. Your PC will now restart.
  
• 
  To start up in Safe Mode with networking, press
  5 or F5.
  
  
  
  Also, get back to normal mode and perform a virus scan using Windows defender from the link given below:

Hello Clint, *Smile

That error indicates that you already have a "DriveIcons" key.

You might also see if you may be able to use an option below instead.

Thanks Brink. When I went there manually, it was not there. I did a find and it went right to it. so I put in my stuff and it works. I don't know what happened.

 

Glad you got it sorted mate. *Smile

 

Hey there guys, did you figured out to install the latest version of Iconviewer on Win 10? I am interested to use an ico that is inside of a .dll file and I need to know the -xx index (e.g. C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,-xx).
I appreciate it,

LE: it works sorry, .dll file/properties.

 

Hello Sara, *Smile

You should be able to just double click on its .exe file to install it. I use IconViewer 3.02 from below all the time in Windows 10.

yea, thanks, the app it works but I thought that it should be accessed like a regular program; instead, the app will add a tab in properties of the .dll files when we are able to see the icon index. I've made a few reg modifications and it works like a charm *Smile
