    If you want to replace the standard drive icons in Windows with your Samsung SSD's icon, simply download this ZIP file which contains all the icons, then place the *.ICO and autoruns.inf file in the root of the drive then reboot.

    Note: The ZIP file contains ICO images for Samsung, Crucial, SanDisk, Western Digital & Buffalo external HDDs

    You will then see the drive icons such as the below example:

    Please test and tell me if it works for you and please post a screenshot of how it looks so I can make any changes to the ICO files if necessary
