All you need to do is this with this little piece of code:

[autorun]
icon=autorun.ico


First save this to a Notepad file as autorun.inf

Second get your icon you want to use, then rename it autorun.ico

Now copy these to your flashdrive, when you next mount the flashdrive it will have your new icon instead of the Windows default.

Enjoy...
