They have hundreds of icon packs meaning multiple icons in one download. The best part is they are all free! You can also do this to different things like folders and external hard drives.

- Sep 16, 2013 Seagate external hard drive not accessible as a drive I'm having trouble getting Windows 7 x86 RC Build 7100 to recognize my Seagate 3.5' External Hard Drive 500GB (Model ST305004EXA101-RK). It is connected through a USB 2.0 port on my Asus K8V SE Motherboard - running an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (2.0 GHz) and 1 GB of RAM.

I am not a regular Linux user and the only knowledge I have gained about Linux (Ubuntu) is from the 6th semester curriculum of my engineering studies. It was only those 6 months that I used Ubuntu on my personal laptop. After migrating to Windows however, one feature of Ubuntu I missed on a regular basis was the automatic display of new drive icons on desktop whenever a new media was plugged in. Ubuntu used to automatically add external drive icons to desktop.
This feature definitely eases the access in everyday computing, but it’s not available by default in Windows.
Desktop Media for Windows
Today I will talk about a simple yet useful tool, Desktop Media that will bring this missing feature to Windows. To get started, download and install Desktop Media on your computer and launch it. The tool will start minimized in the system tray. Double click on the tray icon to open the configuration Window.
The tool is very easy to use, simply check the options you want to enable. If you want to mount removable USB drives and optical drives as soon as they are plugged into Windows check the option Removable and CD-ROM. You could pin the fixed storage to desktop too, but that will not make any sense as you can create shortcut to any drive using the right-click context menu.
One interesting thing about the tool is that it detects when the mapped network folder is available and creates a shortcut on the desktop. This way you can easily monitor when your mapped network drives are accessible to you. As soon as any of the devices or network drives are plugged out, the app removes the icon from the desktop.
If you have moved the icon position on the desktop, the tool will remember the last saved position and pin the shortcut in the exact same position next time.
Cool Tip: If you have the habit of keeping your desktop clean, you can always hide the icons on the desktop and all the desktop toolbar on the taskbar. Right-click on the taskbar and selectToolbar—>DesktopAKiTiO Thunder2 Duo Pro
to enable it.Conclusion
The app is simple and does not have many options for you to explore. Still, it delivers what it promises flawlessly. I am sure you will love the feature whether or not you were on Ubuntu before.
