Mmm, that's odd... the line for "Jump to File" must have been accidentally removed when I was editing the file. I reinstalled and now it works fine. Thanks! Great stuff Herby!

Here's the new Control Panel. biggrin.gif
It contains a lot of commands (27), when you want to remove some commands, just edit "Add Control Panel.reg".

Example:

To remove the "Infrared Monitor" command, remove the whole key:
CODE
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5006-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\11]
@="&Infrared Monitor"
"SuppressionPolicy"=dword:4000003c

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5006-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\11\Command]
@="Control.exe Infrared"

\Example

Now import "Remove Control Panel.reg" and then import "Add Control Panel.reg" (this is also needed when you used the previous Control Panel).

Some more information about the programs on my Taskbar and Systray (got a lot of questions about them):
I use Winamp Deskband (the Media Buttons) and Longhorn Systray Clock (LClock).
They are both free and great programs!

Winamp Deskband is a toolbar docked to the Taskbar that is fully configurable and fully skinnable. It comes with a built-in sleeptimer and playlist resumer. It also supports system-wide hotkeys for almost everything. Furthermore, it supports multiple languages and it allows you to play your bookmarked files without clearing your playlist. It can be used to control Winamp 2.x, 3.0, 5.x and Windows Media Player.

LClock is a very simple program that makes the Windows' clock look like a Windows Longhorn Clock.
It also comes with a simple popup calendar with reminder feature.

For more information, check the links below the Screenshots in Post #1.

Here's one for Media Player Classic.

To make the commands work you have to copy "Media Player Classic" to "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player" and rename it to "mplayerc.exe".

The Test Audio and Test Video commands only work in Windows XP. (they use the Windows Welkome Music and Intro Video)
If you don't use Windows XP use the "Add Media Player Classic -Test.reg".

Hi I think the icons are great. I would like to know if I can make a folder with the right click contex menu of whatever is in the folder. I read the post about making folders without text, but it didnt say anything about the right click menus, or atleast i didnt see it. But I have a folder with shortcuts to game in it and I woud like to create an icon so when you right click it the name of the games appear and you can just choose like that. If it is at all possible please let me know and let me know what i would have to do.

Is there a way to have only the icons without text of a certain size (ex 128x128) while all the others in a different size (64x64)?
Herby
It's possible with WindowFX (48x48), IconX (Part of DesktopX) does'nt support the nameless Icons.

Which reg file are you using?
"Add Recycle Bin MUP.reg" or "Add Recycle Bin.reg"?
When you are using the "Add Recycle Bin MUP.reg" (this one is only needed when you have Multiple User Profiles on your Computer, otherwise all users get a nameless Recycle Bin) you can change the icon here:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5020-0000-0000-000000000002}\DefaultIcon]
@="X:\\Icondir\\Icon.ico"

This Recycle Bin doesn't change his Icon when it's full & you can't drag files in it, but you can empty and open it.

The Locked command starts FlashFXP locked to the tray, using "neowin" as the password.
To change the password, search for -lock="neowin" in the registry and change neowin to your new password.
The Repair RegSet command fixes FlashFXP's registry associations and updates the registry "Install Path" with the current location of FlashFXP.
