i used an autorun.inf file for one of my blank discs. it's set up to show a custom icon and long name. the name worked, but however, instead of the icon it was meant to show, it showed this white page-like icon. what did i do wrong??
What software did you use to create the icons, and if so, what was the format/file type originally?i used an autorun.inf file for one of my blank discs. it's set up to show a custom icon and long name. the name worked, but however, instead of the icon it was meant to show, it showed this white page-like icon. what did i do wrong??
[autorun]
open=file.exe
icon=file.ico
autorun.inf
file also can have:[Autorun]
icon=autorun.ico
label=NAME_TO_SHOW_on_EXPLORER
autorun.ico
file on the root of the disci made it with paint 3d, then converted it to .ico with ms paint, i lowered the resolution, but it still didn't work. my CAT_VIDS_ 4_U DVD is like this:Theautorun.inf
file also can have:
Code:[Autorun] icon=autorun.ico label=NAME_TO_SHOW_on_EXPLORER
by example my Medicat drive is shown as:
View attachment 412039
with myautorun.ico
file on the root of the disc

Instead, download IconLover which is what I use for creating icons. http://www.aha-soft.com/iconlover/i made it with paint 3d, then converted it to .ico with ms paint.
you can also use .pngi made it with paint 3d, then converted it to .ico with ms paint, i lowered the resolution, but it still didn't work. my CAT_VIDS_ 4_U DVD is like this:

you can also use .png
MS paint can not save as ICO file, you need a real editor, like Paint.NET or GIMP.i made it with paint 3d, then converted it to .ico with ms paint, i lowered the resolution, but it still didn't work. my CAT_VIDS_ 4_U DVD is like this:

Only on Windows 11 and not for the Disc one.wait, what size? and is it the same size as the .icos?

I think ICO files should not be greater than 64X64 for disc, I am unsure.
briefly googling it, it seems like windows 7+ doesn't like icon files lower res than 64x64, so experiment with 32x32 and 64x64but how do i save it in GIMP

looking at the icon files for some of my old physical PC games, they all seem to load fine at 32x32
