the other commands work fine, thank you for the notepad icon, paste command works great

The paste comand can be handy sometimes.

About the error: What's the location of your OSA.exe?

============================================

Some people requested an Explorer Icon; anybody got some ideas about what I should add to the Context Menu's and what the default opening location should be?

Here's the fixed "My Computer" & "My Documents" (fixed all commands).

Edit: I've replaced Explorer.exe in the commands with "RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL" (default Run Command).

Herby

Here are the reg files for Dock users.

[attachmentid=141993]

These reg files will add the Icons to "Entire Network" instead of the Desktop.
If you have the Icons on the Desktop, first merge the "Remove" regs and then merge the "Add" regs.

See _dock.txt for more info.

very thank you again for your great thing

user posted image

for people who have the same problem as me change the command of your context in registry editor by use

RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "whatever you want"

instead

Explorer.exe /n, X:\\whatever

for example use

RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "D:\\My Download"

not

Explorer.exe /n, D:\\My Download

and you won't have the problem 'bout the icon.

I've got some great news!

Wiredbits has created a neat little program called SCCU (Shorcut Clean Up).

[attachmentid=144797]

With this program you can create Textless Desktop Icons and Shortcuts with Enhanced Context Menu's.
You can download it here (@ MegaUpload.com),.. if someone can host it please PM me or post it here!
It's a beta version but I've tested it and it's working great,.. and best of all: it's free!

You can drag and drop files, shortcuts, drives or folders to the Drag and Drop Icon. Menu Name, Internal Name and Command are generated from the Drop action (98% of the time).
If you notice bugs or have suggestions you can post them here.

He's a little busy a.t.m. (see quote) but he's open for suggestions.

You can try this trick, but it applies to all icons, you can use a dock (like Yz Dock or Object Dock) or use a program like WindowFX (IconX does'nt support nameless Icons).

The Google Earth Icon probably does'nt work because it's installed in a different directory.
The easiest way to fix it is by editing the path in the registry (I'm a little busy atm but I'll look into it).
I've added Paint.NET to my todo list (you can also try to create it with SCCU).

to make large icons, I just cranked up the size of my icons to like 64x64 or maybe it was larger... i forget. as long as the icons you are using have that size in them then they will look good... if they don't then they will look all funky and distorted.

this does change your icons sizes throughout the rest of the OS, so be careful. for me, i use detailed view on all of my windows and in my start menu, i have only a few items on the right and a list on the left so it looks good. i can post a screen shot if this doesn't make sense.

CrisCr0ss

Oct 23 2005, 18:08

I know AveDesk creates These kind of folders so is it possible to have avedesk w/ these enhanced context menus?

^^ I've added them both to my todo list.

About the reg file: you must use expandable string values when you want to use environment variables like %WinDir%, %UserProfile% %ProgramFiles% (see tutorial).
You can also replace %ProgramFiles% with C:\\Program Files.

hi
I just tried Herby's renaming file to a (dot) CLSID with CLSID SCCU assigns and it works. You can try it out by opening classes.ini , get CLSID of Class you made and then folow Herby instructions.
I will check out adding it to SCCU
Later

Here's one for VirtualPlastic.net

[attachmentid=146417]

This Icon is created with SCCU.

You can edit the reg file to change the location of the Icon (Icons and Png's are included in the zip file).

I think that this is the longest thread I've ever seen (apart from jokes etc.)!

I know that Herby thrives on challenges and responds almost instanataneously so here's an easy one: the updated .reg files etc. are added to the .zip in the first post in this thread, so how about also adding the tutorial? It's at post 378 (I think that's the correct one), but if it was in the first .zip, there would be everything there together - the .reg files, individual notes, along with a "how to".

I also have a comment about the software that's been, or being, produced to do these tweaks automatically. I acknowledge the skill that Herby has clearly demonstrated here and also the skill of the programmer(s) who have taken these techniques and put them into a package that is "user friendly" for those who don't like to play with the registry. Personally, I prefer to know exactly what's going on, so would rather do the tweaks by hand and have the frustration/pleasure of sorting out problems if they don't work exactly as planned. If such software had been produced and put onto the market without Herby sharing these great secrets with everyone, I wouldn't have had so much pleasure in creating textless icons.

Hi, just a question but if i uninstall SCCU will it revert back to default Windows? If it doesn't how can I set everything back to default? Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this has been answered or not but is there still any way to remove the "Create Shortcut" on the bottom of menu?

Great program by the way.

(sorry if it's been answered, this thread is like 50 pages)

^ I want to add something to my post above (can't seem to find the edit button

)

I found out how to remove the "create shortcut" button. (Yes I went from the beginning page by page)

My other question is can you add those horizontal separator's?

Hi
Not sure I understand your question of 'Default Windows'. If you mean does it remove any Icon you created during the uninstall then yes it does.
