First you need to see if your flash-drive already has a .inf file hidden. Now you need to click on START>Control Panel>Folder Options>View. Scroll down until you find “Hidden Files And Folders”, then check “Show hidden files and folders”.
Now that you can view hidden files/folders open your flash-drive's drive. For me it's “F:”( F = drive letter). When you open it you should have a file named Autorun.inf (sort of greyed out a little bit), or no greyed out files. Delete the file named Autorun.inf because you will be remaking another.
Here's a listed instruction
- Right click on the folder and go to New>Text Document
- Rename the New Text Document.txt - Autorun.inf
- Now right click on Autorun.inf and click Open
- It should come up in notepad on the first line type “[Autorun]” (no_quotations)
- Next line type Open=“$”
- Next line type Icon=“$”
- Next line type Label=“whatever you want the drive to be name”
It should look like this.
(NO_QUOTATIONS)
Now then you are probably wondering what the $ stands for. Well that's the icon file path. You can find icon all over the Internet. Just find one and put it on the flash-drive.
Now then let's hide the Autorun.inf and your icon file, if you got one. Right click on the Autorun.inf and click Properties then check the Hidden box at the bottom. If you got a icon do the same. Hit apply and you're done.
If you want to take the show hidden back off. Go to Control Panel>Folder Options>View and check the “Do not show hidden files or folders”. Well your Done.
