The only alternative out there seems to be
Desk Drive, which requires DotNET:

So I use
Desktop Media on XP and
Desk Drive on Windows 7.

If you want to alter the programs icon
Resource Hacker may work.
If you want to change the drive icon that is easily set with an .inf file and an icon.
An example autorun.inf
Code: Select all
[AutoRun]
icon=Racecar.ico
open=\
action=
To clarify place the .inf file and the .ico file in the root of the drive and on next insertion the icon will be changed. (This change will appear on all computers that you plug the drive in.)

Just found another two
Desktop Media alternatives, one of them right here at TPFC:
-
AutoStart (

-
DesktopUSB (

There's a trick for this
using the autorun.inf file mentioned over on lifehacker (first mentioned here
in forums by Island Boy). It works even if you have the autorun tool disabled in Windows XP, which
you should. I use
xpy to disable autorun (it's under the "usability" menu).
