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 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?

Version 1.02
Browser controls are now icons instead of buttons
Put Class And Menu Item controls into Tab panels
Added Infotip input box
Added Control Panel and Network Places radio controls (disabled for now)
Added Settings
User can choose path other than Desktop for Shortcut
Auto accept changes, default is not
New menu item on drag drop action, default is not
Show environment varables...at the moment not user selectable, default is show
DO not expand commands...at the moment not user selectable , default is expand

Version 1.03
Switched from on event mode to msg mode with controls, this stopped recursive
focus when reverting to last saved which looked cool but not workable..GRIN
Built in commands now work if SCCU is loaded, at first i was against this but decided to let it run
Changed from raddio buttons to edit combo box for namespace
Added more namespace selections (thanks herby)
- My COmputer
- Control Panel
- Network Places
- Entire Network
Icons with text can be renamed and copy/paste as shortcut
Check box for Show Environment Varables and Expand Commands
New menu items: New Open Save As
Use internal registry write routines instead of running regedit.exe
*thinking about dumping 'save registry files' routines.

Version 1.04
Added:
- Auto load last file
- Shell Object creation (folders) have yet to test on Win98/Me but support is there
- Inputbox and browse Icon for shell folder target path
- Class type tab
Moved into Tab control:
- Name space combobox control
- All user checkbox
- Icon and Folder Radio controls
- Inputbox and browse Icon for shell folder target path
Status bar bow show current file name, if file has change then a '*' is appended to it.
Do not activate namespace windows now, just tell them to refresh.

Version 1.05
added drag drop to Treeview control
disabled folder Icon type...for now.

I've uploaded SCCU v1.05 to VirtualPlastic, you can download it here.

Changelog:
@ wiredbits (Jim): Thanks, it's working great!
I'm brainstorming about the folder type bug /prob.

I was wondering if it is possible to request an office 12 flavour of the office icon without text? Thanks!

\program files\microsoft office\OFFICE12
winword.exe
excel.exe
powerpnt.exe
outlook.exe
mspub.exe
ois.exe (picture manager)

Thanks Herby

here's the Office 12 Icon.

Hey i like this program, but i want to uninstall it, and whenever i uninstall it, the icon that i created on the desk is still there.....how do i get rid of it?

i cant figure it out...i have clicked on every button and everything....like in the column on the left, i have a tree labeled test, and then if you expand it, there is another one labled test also. And the icon on my desktop is labled test also. I right click the icon and i get copy, creat shortcut, and rename, and in the applications, I have clicked everything, and nothing seems to work....can you give me a link to the latest version, i might have an old one

just got the latest version, and that is not it....

Pleaseeeee...i need this asap!!!!!!!

There is no office 12 specific icon afaik. The office 2003 icon is in that file, icon group 7. I'm not sure if that helps

WOWthank you very nuch for this little tweak! I love it and for once i think this tweak will stay for a long time!

Hello there, i have been following this excellent thread, and have used quite a few of the icon posted here. But I couldnt find one for Norton Antivirus 2004 which I use. Can you post one reg file for that.

Thankyou

what about one for diskeeper/reg seeker/kaspersky anti virus/spybot search and destroy/spyware blaster? it's up to you to choose...thank you

Which icon location do you use?

Updated Post #1:

New version of SCCU (v1.08) - changelog:

Thanks James (Wiredbits)!

ACM.zip:

Added:
• NirCmd v1.81
• Office 12
• iTunes 6

The 2 stop commands from the iTunes 6 icon (Stop iPodService & Stop iTunesHelper) use NirCmd.
-> copy NirCmd.* (included in ACM.zip) to your Windows or System32 directory.

This one awesome prog that I found called Autohide Icons(http://www.geocities.com/autohide_hompage/Autohide.htm) is totally compatible with these textless icons! To find out more about Autohide Icons, go to http://www.virtualplastic.net/msgboard/thr...um=0&thread=737.

Thanks for all your hard work Herby, absolutely priceless. I'm having one tiny problem though. All my new textless icons work except My Computer. It opens the my computer explorer fine and the right click menu all work but the icon is the default white page icon that is used for unrecognized file types. I can't figure out why. I've tried all of the different My Computer .reg files and none solve it. I would try playing with Shell Object Explorer but the site is down. Any ideas?

thanks for the guide I was always curious about Icons without any text, never knew you could do that untill now.

THis is just great so thanks a lot for your time, i have a few questions though:

How can i add harddrives to the desktop?
and can i open my dvd drive (as a folder for browsing its content) by double clicking on it? When i do that i just get a dialogue telling me about the Autorun.

Been watching this for weeks but tried it only today. It is awsome.

Can we have icons for Yahoo Messenger?

I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks + my to-do list is quite long, depending on your patience levels, you can try to create it with SCCU (see info on Post #1).

I did customize a lot of the tweak to suite my taste. What i coud not do was make those expandable hex entries . i do not understand them. Can you just guide me as to how to open a folder through the right click shell entry ? I want to know what should i enter in place of x in order to open a folder.
command - @="x"

I guess will have to wait for you. Enjoy your vacation.

edit the expandable string values with regedit and export them.Open a folder: @="explorer.exe /n, /e, C:\\Windows\\"For more info, have a look at the Tutorial.

Awesome! I've been trying to figure out how to remove the text from the icons for ages.

Very nice... keep up the good work.

Hi. I'm new to this site and I have read most of the post on "Desktop icon without text" but I am having trouble with the "Clear Temp" command from the Recycle Bin. what i want to do is add a batch file that clean the "My Recent Documents" that i have in my "%Userprofile%\My document" and a command that cleans the "Prefetch folder" onto the Recycle BIn contextmenuhandlers. I have tried to add the batch file to the "clear Temp" command with removes all Temp files on the new recycle_bin.zip as follow: @="cmd.exe /C del /S /F /Q C:\\windows\\Temp\\*.* && cmd.exe /C /S /F /Q C:\\windows\\Prefetch\\*.* && cmd.exe /C Start /S /F /Q C:"%Userprofile%\My Documents\\Cleanrecent.bat" but for some reason this dont work.. Does anyone know how to add those two command on the recycle bin folder to make it work?
I need to add the clean "Prefetch folder and to run a batch file on the recycle bin contextmenuhandler....

Hi, I would like to have menus when I click items on my RK Launcher dock... but I can't find the part explaining this. The Tutorial is all about the Registry, creating textless icons and adding commands to it... but no info about contextmenus for Docks.
It does say on the first post this is possible..
