Mac 101: Change Your Icons
Every volume, application, file, and folder on your Mac is represented by an icon. Volume icons tend to look like the item that they represent, for example, your hard disk looks like a hard drive, CDs and DVDs look like discs, and removable drives look like removable drives.
