- The cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. It allows the user to schedule time to run tasks, so you can automate things like backups, create logs, health checks.
- Aug 27, 2019 The simplest way to create an icon is to find a suitable PNG image, and convert it to this format. There are lots of apps that can convert an ordinary image to ICNS format but we recommend using Image2icon. Drag & drop the image you want to use onto the app, and select the ICNS format to convert it.
- On your Mac, select the file or folder whose icon you want to use, then choose File Get Info. At the top of the Info window, click the icon, then choose Edit Copy. Select the other file or folder, then choose File Get Info. Click the icon, then choose Edit Paste.
- Set up a VPN connection on Mac. To connect to a virtual private network (VPN), you need to enter configuration settings in Network preferences.

It’s also worth noting that Google search has some awesome search features for finding icons. Go to Google image search and then type in filetype:ico keyword where keyword is the kind of icons you are looking for.
You’ll get a bunch of results for icons of all sizes and types, but the awesome part is that you can filter the search results based on size, type, time, color, etc. In our case, you’re going to want to choose Exactly from size and then type in 64 for width and height. I tried to use a size smaller than 64×64, but it would not work in Windows 7. Seems like the minimum size for the icon file has to be 64×64 pixels.
Step 2: Once you have an icon file that you can use for your USB drive, we then need to create what is called an Autorun.inf file. This is basically a configuration file that all versions of Windows automatically recognize and will use to set up the connected device. To create the file, first go ahead and open Notepad.
Step 3: Now copy the text below and paste it into the Notepad file.
Macos App Icon
[autorun]
label=Aseem Drive
icon=autorun.ico
If you only care about the custom icon, you can just remove the second line that starts with label completely. Otherwise, you can just type anything you want there. It seems that you can also add a label with spaces or even apostrophe’s and it still works. If you do happen to run into an issue using a complicated label, then try putting quotes around the label name.
