Change Mounted Folder Icon

Hi. I have XP SP2. I have a directory mounted to a partition (with no drive letter) and the icon looks like a hard drive. I want it to look like a folder. I went to properties->customize->change icon but nothing happens. How do I get the icon to look like a folder? If I try to change the icon on a normal folder it works.

hmm this is a bit more difficult a directory mounted is not exactly a true directory,
>
Double click on "My Computer"
Select "View | Options"
Select "File Types" tab
Highlight "Drive" from the "Registered file types" list
Click on "Edit" or "advanced"
Change the icon by clicking on "Change Icon" button
if you look down the list see if you find directory then follow the same principle above.
