Does anyone know where to get a portable icon changer? I need one which can keep the icons even if the usb drive changes computers.
Thanks

Could you elaborate on what it is you are trying to do.
Are you trying to maintain particular icons on the USB drive or the Host? Are these the icons for program files, directories, or data files?
BTW:OT "Ben saw some" what?

Both and all.

Do you mean something like Resource Hacker?

I am currently working on something for that. I'm writing a program in AutoIt3 which, among other things, will allow you to choose the folder to customise, then choose the icon to use. It can use relative paths, so the customised folder icons won't be affected by drive letter changes, and it also warns the user when using a 'unsafe' icon - an icon that is not located on the removable drive!
I hope to release it in the next few weeks, but am being held up by assignments and exams, and some bugs in the help file!
If I mean what Pfeerick thinks that Bensawsome means
then the software Bensawsome asked for should be FolderIcons by CyLog - I mean 
Just put the to be used icons in a subdirectory of "My Documents (@USB)", PortableAppsMenue or somewhere else and FolderIcons will generate a "desktop.ini"-file for every directory you wish with relative paths to the used icons.

P.S. Sorry if we all means something different and just think we know what the other means
@pfeerick I would be really interested in your a3-tool as a possible replacement of FolderIcons.
