@Joe13 pointed you to the right infos. it's quite simple.

Juste create a new text file with notepad

Write the following and save as autorun.inf:

[autorun]

ICON=MYICON.ICO

Where MYICON.ICO is the icon of your choice.

Both the inf and the ico files have to be copied to the root of the cd/dvd.

to complete, you can use more than only the first icon found.

For example, when you choose a DLL or n EXE, it may contains more than 1 ico.

Below, the shell32.dll contains many ico :

 

To choose the ico, you have to add an argument to the ICON parameter.

 

for example, :

[autorun]
ICON=my_program.exe, 0

This select the first item collection icon from the EXE file.

 

Another example with Notepad++ :

[autorun]
ICON=C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe, 0

If you are sure this path always exists, you can do it as is, else you can copy the EXE file into the root of your CD/DVD and call it as :

First icon :

[autorun]
ICON=notepad++.exe, 0

Second icon :

[autorun]
ICON=notepad++.exe, 1

Finally, your root CD/DVD contains those 2 files :
