How to Change the Hard Drive Icons on Your Mac Justin Pot @jhpot Updated September 10, 2017, 9:51pm EDT If you connect a lot of drives to your Mac—or connect a particular external hard drive to a lot of different Macs—it can all be a lot to keep track of.
First off, you need a picture to make as your folder image. Find any picture you want off the internet or where ever. You HAVE to have the picture in a.ico format. Notice how I bolded that have word? Well it's kinda important. You can go to, click on the Convert your image to ICO section, and convert the picture to a.ico file. Or click on the link.
Try to make the image under 1 GB or else you have to pay, and being poor, I'm not going to pay for something. But you shouldn't have any problems. Alternatively, you can go to and find the image you want. If you went here, you'll want to click the ICO tag on the picture.
Make sure you know where you saved the picture. It's best to move it to the pictures folder.

Alright, now you've got your picture in a.ico format. Now you need to put it on the folder. So, go to your desktop, right click somewhere, hover over new, then click on folder. Your folder should now be on the screen somewhere. Now you need to right click on the folder and click properties.
You should get a menu close to the one in the third picture. Then click the customize tab. Now click on the Change Icon button. Should get a screen like the fourth picture. Now click the browse button.
Navigate your way to the folder that holds that.ico picture that you made earlier. Once you've found it, hit open, then okay, then okay again. All of the menus should be gone. And you'll notice that your folder now has whatever picture you wanted. So now you may notice that you have some annoying text, probably new folder, below the picture.

We'll change that. So, right click on the folder and click on Rename. The text should be highlighted now. Right click inside the area with the text in it. You should get a screen like the one in picture two. Hover over the Insert Unicode Control Character and another menu should appear. Click on the one that says AAFS.

Click somewhere not the folder and the text should be gone. UPDATE: I noticed that if you want to make multiple folders without the text at the bottom, you'll have to select a different Unicode Character Control. Okay, so I assigned some images to folders on my external hard drive and then unplugged and plugged in my drive, and the image was still assigned. The image I used was on my laptop's hard drive, while the folder was on my external, so I believe I matched your circumstances. But I didn't have your problem.
I'm running Windows 7 and didn't do anything more than change the folder image, so I don't know what's happening with your folders. If there's anymore information you can give to help me emulate your experience, I will try to do so, otherwise, I'm sorry that I can't provide a fix.
