Now showcase your CD, DVD and pen drives that you are the owner by setting an icon for it. (like I do)
First of all you have to choose an icon by downloading it from free online open sources like www.crystalxp.net, vistaIcons.com, walrick.deviantART.com, creativecommons.org, and you can search more icons from Google, yahoo, Bing or facility or any or your favorite search engine.
The icon files would be in the extension of .ico or .dll (dynamic link library).
Do you want to create your own icon? Then make an image file (jpeg or png) of your logo, your name, any character, cartoon, your photo or anything. Open this image file in any image editor like Irfan View (I recommend because I found it the best, free, open source, most popular but you can choose any other if you wish) www.irfanview.net. Now, save the file with an extension of .ico and name it “myicon.ico”.
Now, copy and paste this icon file into your pen drive, DVD or any other removable devices.
The most important step is to create a configuration file.
Open notepad and type the following code:
[autorun]
Icon=myicon.ico
Now, save the file and name it autorun.inf with the extension .inf.
Then copy the file “autorun.inf” and paste the file in your removable devices (CD, DVD, or Pen drives). Now, remove your pen drive or burn your DVD with the above two files we’ve created.

Make Your Pen Drive Virus Proof Without Any Antivirus
If you connect your pen drive or flash disk to any virus infected system then your pen drive 
to get infected.Then what is it that makes the virus activate when you plug-in your pen drive?
It is the file autorun.inf that makes the virus execute every time you connect your pen drive. And when you try to delete the file manually the virus regenerate the autorun.inf (.inf = information) file.
The
question is how to restrict the file to be created?
Well, create a folder on the desktop and name it autorun.inf. Go to the properties of the folder, in General tab enable the check boxes: Hidden, Read Only. Now delete the autorun.inf file form your pen drive and quickly copy and paste the folder we’ve created. Now the file autorun.inf will be restricted until you delete the file.
The above step makes the virus deactivated, but the virus isn’t removed yet.
Sometimes, if your antivirus program even though it is updated, is not able to remove the virus. Or it detects and tries to remove the virus. But, the virus regenerates itself. Now a simple process is to create a folder as described above and name it same as the virus is e.g. Notepad.exe, VirusCleaner.vbe etc.
