In the INF file, I am using USB Class GUID and USB Class.
when i install the device ,its getting displayed under USB Class with
*standard
“ICON”* in device manager.
now i want my device to be displayed under USB Class with *custom
“ICON”*in device manager
*Is it possible to replace the standard class "ICON " with custom “ICON”
for my device only? *
*if that can be done .how can i do it?*

You should not install your driver under the USB class. The class is supposed to be restricted to controllers and hubs. You should install under your own custom class.

Still - usbstor.inf, usbprint.inf and many others install their drivers
under this class, which is a bit odd given that statement…
I also read this kind of statement somewhere on the DDK, and couldn’t
understand the reason for it:
The USB class has no class-specific property pages, installers or filters,
so why should someone avoid putting his driver there?
More importantly, what can Microsoft do now, when so many driver developers
put their drivers there (-- BTW, I didn’t —)?

There is a class coinstaller. This directive is for moving forward. As the OP found out, he can’t change his icon. That is one of the problems being solved by moving folks out of the USB class.

Because it causes the devices to be listed in Device Manager under
“Universal Serial Bus controllers”. Unless it really is a USB
controller, this is going to confuse those end-users.

Of course, one might ask what a confused end user is doing in Device
Manager to begin with, but I digress.

Dear experts,

Actually I wanted use custom class for my driver. But this custom
class GUID is failing CheckINF test in HCT. So I got a drirectve from
microsft WHQL team to use the standard class GUID which shows my
device under standard class.

So do I use standard class or custom class to have own icon against my device.

Regards,
Bharat.

Hi,

I thought that negative numbers are reserved for system use, while
positive # indicate to pull the icon from some user supplied property
page. Try 1 (or 2, or 3 … ) instead of -21, -5 etc.

Regards,

Is -21 a valid index ?

I am currently using -5 and -23
only.

Not shure this is your problem
but in my INF files

the icon number is within " ".

Something like:
HKR,Icon,“-23”
