A couple of Win7 Devices and Printers questions?

I've got an HP dv6 laptop (built in webcam), which doesn't show up in the Devices and Printers menu. AFAIK, built-in webcams still show up in there, right? The camera works on MSN, Skype AND the bundled HP Mediasmart Webcam software, but its just not in that menu.

Secondly, how do I change the default images for the devices it can't find pictures of? I'm sick of looking at a massive printer thats supposed to represent my Epson. And I'd like to change the image of my iPod touch to something that doesn't look like a negative scanner or a camera.

Is there actually a list anywhere of Device Stage compatible devices? I know Microsoft had one, but that link now redirects to the Windows 7 main page.

Is it possible to make a custom-made Device Stage? AFAIK it just involves some XML files.

And can I pin a Device that HASN'T got device stage to my taskbar? I'd like to be able to pin my iPod there when it's charging.

There isn't a compatibility list anymore I don't think, but if you want to add your own images etc to Device Stage then this runs you through what you need to do; http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=782479

Struggling to get my head round that, I'm not fussed too much about custom device stage, but I'm just trying to find the right bit for just adding a Device Icon.
