If you have the habit of connecting more than two USB drive devices (USB drives, flash drives, etc), you may have to look at the directory of each drive using Windows explorer to know what drive letter goes with what drive.
There is a simple solution
Create your own icon using a paint program, and save as bmp if it does not have an ICO option. Limit the size of the graphic to 32 x 32 bits. You can use a program like Irfanview to read in the BMP file, then save as ICO file.
Copy the ICO file to the root folder of the USB drive, as favicon.ico
----- Create a text file and add the following text ----------
[autorun]
icon=favicon.ico
label=My File Disk 2
-------------------------------------
label={What you want to call this device)
Should be no more than 32 characters
Copy this file on the USB drive as Autorun.inf
Safely remove the USB drive. Reinsert USB drive, and you should see your icon and label in Windows Explorer
Confusion be gone!
