Here's the link to the tutorial.

You can change the location(s) in the registry (open the reg file, copy the CLSID and search for it in Regedit).
About the Nero button: try the attached one (first import the "remove" reg and then the "add" reg).
Win+e = explorer,.. -> "Add My Computer.reg" ?!?

Oh.. I didn't think my computer is the same thing as the explorer...

Thanks for the link and for the Nero button..

[right][snapback]585696493[/snapback][/right]

Simple and direct answer: No, exept for the "Add Recycle Bin.reg" and the "Add My Documents+.reg".
They modify the real Recycle Bin & My Documents Icons on the Desktop and apply to all users.
Use the "Add Recycle Bin MUP.reg" (Multiple User Profiles) and the "Add My Documents.reg" instead.
The Recycle Bin "MUP" works but the Icon does'nt change when it's full.

No, you probably used the "Add Recycle Bin MUP.reg" (see the answer above), if you don't have Multiple User Profiles on your computer, try the "Add Recycle Bin.reg".

No problem...
That's another way that works...

@ request: The Clear Temp & Disk Cleanup commands for the Recycle Bin.
The zip contains the English & the Dutch version.
They don't change the name & the properties of the Recycle Bin.

Attributes at 0x00000000 should remove it, but they don't...
I've tried lots of things but it did'nt work.

It was also requested @ VirtualPlastic but they don't know the solution there either.

It's now possible to remove the "Create shortcut" command from the context menu!:

1) Make a backup from the original shell32.dll!
2) Copy Shell32.dll from %WinDir%/System32/ to another location and edit it with Resource Hacker
3) Go to Menu -> 210 and delete this line:

MENUITEM "Create &Shortcut", 16, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED

4) Select Compile script and save the file.
5) Replace %WinDir%/System32/shell32.dll with the edited one with Replacer
6) Copy CreateShortcut.exe to the Windows or System32 directory and merge "Create Shortcut - install.reg" into the registry.

Create Shortcut is created by Serenity... Thanks!!

After looking and studying your existing code, I can't seem to figure out how to make an icon that isn't related to system folders. I mean a custom icon that has a drop down menu with links to various programs that you have installed. Say that I'm referencing a Security Icon that would link to my various protection software, or a Games Icon that would link to my various games.

Is there any way to do this?

bi11y

Apr 5 2005, 05:36

Yes, I have made one for my games, but you still have to have the folder somewhere else and this folder is just a link to that..

just take this .txt and rename it to a .reg

Apr 5 2005, 05:59

Dang, bi11y, you are the man!

EDIT: I keep getting this error:

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.

And, when I right click, all I get is "Games" and it gives me the same results.

Fixed this problem. I also made a neat way to represent each game title. bi11y, you may want to look at it.

Uhm.. you simply add this

CODE

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-2000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Shell\00]
@="&Games"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-2000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Shell\00\Command]
@="Explorer.exe C:\\Games\\"

to the Games Folder modded by me, isn't it?

Hehe.. I already know that..
Did you look in the .reg file at all before you added it..?

I don't know where your games folder is and because of that I leaved the string empty..
I also have a shortcut to my favvos games..

Yeah, I looked at the file, but I was stuck on the slashes. I made only a single slash the first time around, but the second time I tried 2 and it worked.

I finally succeeded to add Drag & Drop support to My Documents and Recycle Bin Mup (Multiple User Profiles version) without modifying the original CLSID values.

The My Documents Icon is fully functional but the Recycle Bin MUP still does'nt change the Icon when it's full.
I've updated the first post and added them to the ACM.zip.
Use the remove regs first and then merge the add regs.
See _Changelog.txt for more info.

They work in ObjectDock (with context menu), dunno about Y'z Dock.
Maybe it works if you give them a name and move them to Network Neighborhood, you can do this with Shell Object Editor (right click and select Expert Mode).
See Post #1 for more info & download link.
With this program you can also change the Icons.

I'll add the info about how to undo the "Create Shortcut" mod to the next update.
(Restore the original shell32.dll and merge "Create Shortcut - uninstall.reg")

i just needa find a way to move these to other places beside the desktop such as y'z dock and other folders...

Also is it possible to get the recycle bin to work with avedesk? (the context menu)???

hit me up..

Btw i managed to removed the create shortcut, and i figured how to change the icons..

Herby, I'm not sure how you did it, so I don't know if there's a connection, but could what you did with the new My Documents apply to my previous problem of creating a nameless folder on the desktop? This new My Documents you've created seems to be what I'm looking for...

With Shell Object Editor you can move them to My Computer, My Network Places & the Control Panel.
The only way to move them to other folders is to create CLSID Folders.
Example: My Computer
Open "Add My Computer.reg" and copy the CLSID ({00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}).
Create a folder in the C:\ root and name it X.
Open the Command Prompt and go to the C:\ root.
Type "rename X .{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}" without the quotes and with the point. (and past the CLSID)
You can move this folder to any location you want but it has also the context menu from a folder (with the added commands).

I don't know if it's possible to get the Recycle Bin to work with Avedesk (I don't use it).

Here's a Folder Example with Drag & Drop support (attached zip file).

For this example it's needed to create a folder named "My Dump" (without the quotes) in your "My Documents" Folder.

If you want to change the location and name of the folder, just edit the reg file:

change the Target location:
"Target"="shell:Personal\\My Dump" to for example "Target"="C:\\Windows\\Dump"

change the command:
@="Explorer.exe /n, shell:Personal\\My Dump" to for example @="Explorer.exe /n, C:\\Windows\\Dump"

Change the name off the comand:
@="My &Dump" to @="Any Name You Want..."

You can also change the Info Tip:
"InfoTip"="Enter your InfoTip here..."

Merge the modified reg file and Refresh your Desktop.

Just a tip if you will post .reg files here.. Use this command for were the .exe file is..

@="%ProgramFiles%\\StarOffice7\\program\\soffice.exe"

instead of this..

@="C:\\Program Files\\StarOffice7\\program\\soffice.exe"

Why..?
Because it won't work with a swedish copy because the program folders name is program and it doesn't matter what the partition is namned..

and you didn't wrote this line at the bottom at the .reg file..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{00000000-5160-0000-0000-000000000002}]

thats why it doesn't show up in the desktop..

but it was a good .reg file..

But say i have a custom folder id like to place them in such as F:/Applications, and is it not possible to add to y'z dock, Does ObjectDock use less memory?
