Hi gang,
just a quick one please.

How do I change the icon picture for my DVD drive, as its the same pic used
for my cdrom.
Each time I look at property's, I can not find any way to change the pic.
Using xp pro.
Much thanks

Thanks for the reply, had tried that all ready, but no joy. The reply from
Andrew above did the trick.
