If you’re still using Windows XP, you’re most likely bored of its interface, so customization has become a very important task.

Changing the drive icons shown in My Computer can be easily done with a freeware tool called Vista Drive Icon that does just that: it helps you replace the traditional drive icons with some more modern ones.

In fact, just like its name hints, Vista Drive Icon is a simple way of replacing the old-school drive icons in Windows XP with the ones introduced by Microsoft it Vista. And what’s so special about these icons? you may ask.

Well, not only that they have a more stylish look, but they also show the drive’s free space with the help of a bar placed underneath the icon.

Vista Drive Icon replaces the old icons with the new ones automatically, so you just have to run the executable file and that’s basically it. As always, it’s better to create a restore point or make a backup before playing with the app, just to stay on the safe side.

All things considered, if you’re in love with the way Vista’s drive icons look and want to bring them into your Windows XP machine, you won’t find an easier way to do that than Vista Drive Icon.
