Change Drive Icon

Change Drive Icon is a lightweight, yet efficient utility dedicated to accomplishing a very simple task – that of changing the icon and label of a drive.

Although bent on performing such a simple job, Change Drive Icon is a must for any computer user who wants to personalize the appearance of their drives in My Computer.

Seeing as such an operation isn’t available by default in Windows, the need for an application that does just that becomes a fact at some point. If that’s all you’re looking to customize, you can find a great companion in Change Drive Icon.

First and foremost, the application is portable, which means you can carry it around on a USB drive and launch it without it leaving a footprint on the computer’s registry.

Secondly, for an application with such a simple purpose, Change Drive Icon sports a rather attractive appearance that comes mostly from the warm colors that reside inside its main interface.

The steps you need to go through in order to have your drive icons modified are very few and the efforts that you need to put into this are very light. Simply select the icon file, then the drive and optionally enter a new label and press the ‘Change Icon’, respectively the ‘Change label’ button.

The modifications are performed on the spot, while reverting the changes is also possible using a dedicated restore button.

On an ending note, Change Drive Icon does carry out its task and spears you the manual effort you’d put into such an operation, which can be satisfactory for the average user. However, a richer array of features could improve its popularity amongst a more exigent audience.
