    Hey,
    It's really not a big deal, but I was wondering if anyone has found a way to change the drive icon when you have a boot camp partition booted. It doesn't use the Icon I have set to my windows drive. Even though it says the drive is read/write I can't just swap out the icon with More Info like normal.

    Anyone? Thanks!

    You mean the one with the parallels icon on it? You can change that be doing a right-click on the parallels program and selecting "Show Package Contents". Look for a folder called "Resources". Inside, it has several icons, including the one that parallels uses when it displays a guest os' drive. Try swapping it out for the one you want.

    Awesome, Thats a huge help man thanks! Good tip!

    That leads to another question... that isn't really parallels related, but I don't really know where to ask this. I have some Icon files that im using, but none of them have any file extensions. No .icns , Just blank. How can I make them .icns?

    Maybe the extentions are hidden? Use the get info command from the file menu on the files. There should be an option inside to hide or unhide the extention.
