You can create the "drive icons" key if it isn't there. Then add your Drive Letters and add a DefaultIcon key with a path to the icon you wish to use, the same as you would in Seven. A typical example of a .reg file would look like this:
Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\D]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\D\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\AALMER\\ALMERCONS.DLL,37"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\F]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\F\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\AALMER\\ALMERCONS.DLL,62"

Another way to do it with XP (although I never managed to do it this way!!) was by adding an Autorun.inf file with your desired icon path in the root directory of the drive you want to change the icon in.
I'm just wondering if Acronis has done this with your D, F, G & H drives in your XP set up? Might be worth a look-see to see if you can find, for example, D:\Autorun.inf, F:\Autorun.inf etc. with references to icons.
This
PCMag article from 2005 explains the Autorun.inf method better than I can, and it saves me a load of one finger typing!
Let us know how you get on!
