How to change the partition icon in Windows?

How to change the partition icon in Windows?

Ever wanted to change the partition or drive icon? The default icons are quite ok, but someone would still like to personalize their system as much as possible.

First, where to find icons? The easiest way is to just type the name of the icon into Google and download one. If you want to browse the gallery because you have nothing specific in mind, then I recommend these sites: icons8, iconfinder, freeicons.io, and iconarhive.

Instruction

Changing the partition icon (or any other drive) is a very simple process, but there is a tool that makes the process even easier - Drive Icon Changer.

When you download the tool, run it as an administrator and accept the installation of the .NET Framework package.

Now select the drive you want to change the icon and the icon you want to set. Click "Save".

Now select the drive you want to change the icon and the icon you want to set. Click "Save".

A notification will appear stating that the icon has been successfully replaced, click "OK". After that, the program will ask you to restart the system and do it so that the changes are applied.

Instruction

When the computer restarts, you will see a new icon. The icon is located in the root of that partition as a hidden file so you don't have to save it to the computer where you originally downloaded it.

This program actually shortens the process of manually changing the icon. When you assign an icon to a partition, the icon is copied to that partition and an Autorun.inf file is created. The contents of this file are as follows: 

[autorun]
ICON=Drive.ico

Of course, the name of the icon will be different. Basically, that file is in charge of keeping information about which icon should be set for that drive. That's why it's important not to delete the icon or that file.

You can also change the icon with USB sticks with this method.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

By Administrator
I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

By Administrator
IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
