Ok well I have had this for a while so I thought I might as well share this with Esato's k800, k610, k750, w810, w900, w700, w800, m600i, p990i users. This is just simple way of overriding the stock Windows USB Drive Icon.
My K750i USB Drive Icon
The above screenshot of the k750i usb icon is an example of what the above handsets in bold will look like!
Get Drive Icons For You Handset
I have created a space for Esato on my ftp server were you can obtain the usb files. On the ftp server you will find Folders for each handset supported. In thoes folders you will find the necessary files to get started. The Esato section is SSL/TSL protected thus prompting for username and password. Click Here for FTP Server.
User Name : esato@nuke-evo
Password : esato_members
How to use the files After downloading
Scroll down to Step 3 in How to create your own USB drive icon
Read part b, second sentence.
How to create your own USB drive icon
To create a custom USB drive icon for your headset you will need:
*An image to display as an icon
*An image Format Converter(target format .ico)
*An image Resizer
Step 1:
Open the image resizer and resize the image between (32x32)-(64x64)
Tip: Make sure that the image is near 4:3 ratio or a square to start with then a 16:9. Reason is that when minimized to (??x??) it will look stretched.
Step 2:
Open the image Format Converter and convert the image to a (.ico) Then rename the image to what you desire.
Step 3:
a. Open Note Pad and type the following or Copy&Paste.
[autorun]
icon=xxxxx.ico
b. Then go to file. Select Save As then rename it to "autorun.inf". Then finally put the "xxxxx.ico" and "autorun.inf" in the root directory of the drive (Put in same director as DCIM, misc, mp3, MSSEMC).
Disconnect the phone From the computer then reconnect it to see the new icon.
To Hide the autorun.inf & ????.ico highligh both files and right click the file and tick hidden.
If you have any difficulty using or creating a USB drive icon pm me what you have done so far, and what your problem is. I will also do phone request, so if you wan't another model added to the pack let me know!
Desktop Modification
This was created because of a few individuals who admired the desktop modification originally used with the USB Icons.
To obtain the software used to give you windows a 3d effect you will need the following program found here. Login using the above username and password. Once logged in you should find a new folder called "Desktop Modification". Enter the folder and drag Madotate.zip to desktop.
