    Posted by Daniel Monskey on July 4, 2010 at 10:19 pm

    Hey Experts,
    I have various external hard drives that mount on my desktop with different icon designs. What is the procedure for changing their design so they are all uniform?

    I think I know what you mean, and its simple: select the hard dive you want them all to hav the same icn as (click on it once). Right click and go get info (or cmd+I). Click on the little iconinthe top left in the window which appears, a blue haze should appear round it. Copy with cmd+c, then get info for all the external hard drives you want to change, click on the icon again and paste with cmd+v. To revert you simply select it again and hit delete 🙂
