Icons are stored at WCMICONS.DLL.
You may define your own drive icons by adding the line "drivelib=%COMMANDER_PATH%\My_drivebmp.dll" to wincmd.ini file, section [Configuration]

Huh? The icons haven't changed between TC 7.50 and 8.5x.

So, you're using TC from portableapps.com. Well, that's a different story, I think. There's no need to use any third party tool to make TC portable, it's all in TC itself.

And, as I said: the icons haven't changed for quite a long time. Maybe the thing from portableapps.com uses some different icon set instead of the stock icons?

Please, which portable TC would you recommend me to use that works ok in 64 bits too and permit me to change the icons and can be modified by me in all

Maybe you could provide a screenshot of the icons YOU see, because as Dalai writes - they have not been changed between TC 7.50 and 8.5x

Just use normal TC and set UseIniInProgramDir=7 in your wincmd.ini. There are a lot of threads about this topic in the forums (and perhaps in the TC wiki).

Regarding screenshots: Upload the picture to your favorite picture host and link to it here. If the forum complains: cut the "http://www." part from the URL.

I am not an expert in TC I do not know how to do what you are telling me to do it

Download the TC setup and just unpack it to a directory of your choice. Unpack the install.cab to the same directory. Create a wincmd.ini in that directory. Next, edit this file and set the option I mentioned above in the [Configuration] section (there's more info on this option in the TC help, section 4.b); wincmd.ini uses normal INI syntax. Now you can launch that TC instance and set the options you want, install plugins and so on, in other words: customize it to your needs. When finished, copy the directory to the target, like USB flash drive, network drive, external hard drive or any other location you see fit.
