riotshield Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 if i am not mistaken. in order to have the icon appear we have to copy the icon and autorun file on every MD disk, right? or is there an other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 if i am not mistaken. in order to have the icon appear we have to copy the icon and autorun file on every MD disk, right? or is there an other wayThat's absolutely correct. You will need to have both the icon and its corresponding autorun.inf file in every MD disc you wish to employ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_raji Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I'm interested in icons that represent the actual minidiscs, and not the players.Is there a gallery of icons for the discs themselves? Perhaps a tutorial somewhere for creating your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a tutorial somewhere for creating your own?Sorry, there are no plans for a MD disc icons gallery for now. (perhaps I will set one up if there's enough demand for it) However, I can make you some MD disc icons; just let me know which you desire.

pisialvar Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 It's easy to make one of your own.You just take a picture you like, edit it and resize to 48x48 pixels (i think if i'm not mistaken). And then you just convert it to .ico file. I use Irfan View for it, wich is freeware by the way.Simple, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you just convert it to .ico file. I use Irfan View for it, wich is freeware by the way.Simple, i think.Yes, relatively easy. I use Photoshop to edit the picture to my liking and create the icon itself with Microangelo or Stardock's Icon Developer.--> Edit the picture in question with Photoshop and ensure that its background is set as transparent--> save as .png--> proceed with software such as Microangelo or Stardock's Icon Developer to create the icon. *The ideal size for Windows Explorer use is indeed 48x48.

RobA Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 What do I do with these icons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 What do I do with these icons?These icons provide an alternative "unique" look to your Windows Explorer instead of the default Windows icon for removable media whenever you connect your Hi-MD device to the PC. Please read the first post for further information. If you are still confused as to how to use these icons, please follow the instructions outlined below:You will need to rename (using notepad) the icon filename and label tag to the color/type of device of your choice before you drop it into your device. For example, using the autorun.inf file included for the NH1 icon:[autorun]icon=mznh1-0x.ico --> replace the suffix 0x.ico with mznh1-01.ico if you choose the first version of the silver NH1 iconlabel=Hi-MD Walkman NH1 --> rename to whatever you desire or leave it as default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4cman Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have an MZ-NH600 and what can I say, the icon is not showing up. I copied the icon and the autorun.inf file on the minidisk and renamed the the text and everything, but it's just not showing up. The name is still also "Removable Disk" at Windows.Any suggestions?

If you need instructions: click here.The CD Rom Value was correct (1).The two other ones...HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerNoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x00000095-and-HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerNoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x00000095had 91, instead of 95, which was supposed to be correct value. So I changed both, closed regedit and connected my player again. Sadly nothing had changed, still no icon or text... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway.I'm guessing it is reading that Autorun file, because it changes from the default "Removable Disk" Icon to the kind when there is none.

Thanks anyway.I'm guessing it is reading that Autorun file, because it changes from the default "Removable Disk" Icon to the kind when there is none. That is odd. I checked the integrity of the MZ-NH600 icons stored in MDCF's download section and it's fine. Were you able to view the .ico itself with your system? By default, WinXP (assuming you have WinXP installed) can view .ico extension. So, if you can't view .ico extension, I suspect the problem could lie with your O/S or Windows Explorer.Note: Take a read at this note regarding Icon File Type.

As an awnser to your question - I can see the icons themselves just fine, just the Autorun isn't working. And yes, I am running XP.

Silver007 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Great idea for the Icons, much easier for me to determine which removable drive is my Hi-MD walkman (i have a multi-fuction prtiner that has slots for memory cards, because its connceted a removable drive is always in my computer)however, i do own a MZ-NH600D walkman and have created an icon of it myself i used long time ago That i made from this huge high-quaility imageits a dead on image of the walkman rather than the angled one you've made... really its not that much better, its up to the indiviual person whos they like betterHeres My Icon for download Edited January 9, 2006 by Silver007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berke Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hi,Is there a place where I can find blank Hi-MD media icons? I'd like to associate the hi-md disc icons for some of my custom discs. I tried to make one myself, but the transparent pixel got me puzzled. I don't know how to do it (create an icon).
