Changing icons for storage devices in XP

Anyone know how to change the icons for storage devices displayed in My Computer?

I installed a multi-slot card reader, which came with a setup CD that installed different icons and renamed each drive (slot) according to the card types they accept, but the icons are CRAP! The new icons are black and white, no color, and look as though they were created for 640x480 resolution - slightly pixelated and blurry.

Question #2....anyone know where I can download different icons? 😛

On Edit: Ok, the icons change to colored when a memory card is inserted, which is kind of neat, but the icons still look like crap.

lol! Thanks. I kinda figured it out by searching the registry for one of the volume labels (SmartMedia) and found the registry keys + icon library files.

The card reader setup CD installed a new icon .dll file containing icons designed for Windows 9x, not XP. The ones included with XP in shell32.dll are much nicer!
