Windows XP Icons for Vista Drive Icon
Vista Drive Icon is a fairly handy utility for Windows XP which changes the icons of the your drives, so that they show a small bar indicating the available space. By default, Vista Drive Icon’s icons are from Vista, and don’t suit the Windows XP style. The icon pack below replaces the Vista icons with their Windows XP counterparts whilst retaining the size bar.
These have been tested with and work with Vista Drive Icon 1.3/1.4.
Download
Installation
- Download the package,
- Browse to where you installed Vista Drive Icon, this is usually
C:\Program Files\Vista Drive Icon. - Unzip the contents of the package into the folder named Icon. Be sure to replace all pre-existing icons.
It may take a short period before the new icons appear. Restarting your computer or logging off and back in again may speed the process.

“s16.ico” 16×16x32bpp is missing the system flag. Otherwise, these are very nice, much better than the Vista originals. I revised the set by adding usage bars to the small versions, because I keep all my views set to “Detail.”
Thanks Tom, I’m not sure how I missed that. The mistake has been corrected now. Glad to hear you enjoyed the icons.
I was thinking about adding usage bars to the 16×16 icons, but I thought it looks a bit cramp. When I get the time I’ll go back and see if I can make a second set with the 16×16 usage bars.
