For MY COMPUTER and MY NETWORK PLACES, how do I disable the FOLDER VIEW settings? Everytime I open them, it goes to FOLDER VIEW layout. And for the RECYCLE BIN, I can't drag an item into it anymore. Any fix for these problems?

EDIT:

I removed the tag "/e," from this line and it worked, no longer in folder view ;)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\Open\Command]@="explorer.exe /n, /e, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"

Still no idea how to make the recycle bin drag and droppable though. :(

I am pretty sick at the moment (Sinusitis) and I don't spend much time behind my computer, but if you want them fast, read my previous posts and try to create them.

A few posts back I posted a link to a program that can help you. :))

If you don't have multiple user profiles on your computer, you can use the "Add Recycle Bin.reg" from the first post, you can drag & drop stuff in it. :D

so when I open this file and right click merge for each one.. the names will go away?

has anyone tried this out?

The reg files in the first post are the fixed ones,... the don't remove the name from My Computer ect but they create new nameless icons on your Desktop.

Just try it and if you don't like it just use the remove... reg files.

Thanks,.. and welcome to Neowin! :D

I searched the internet for "command line parameters" for the executables.

Alot of programs don't use command line paramete:(. :(

Sometimes you can use a program that uses them to launch another program (like the one I used with the Winamp Icon).

Herby . . . great work ...

nothing more to say ....? :D

I'm still sick but I'm well enough to work on some of the requests... :)

When you want one without an enhanced context menu (most of the programs don't use command line parameters), you can try to create it with Shell Object Editor (see Post #182).

When you really want one with an enhanced context menu, just PM me.

I get alot of PM's about the theme, icons and wallpaper that I used in the first post.

You can find all the info you need here. :happy:

hey, hope u get well soon, i really suck at computer stuff mostly so if you do happen to get a little free time all i would request is an icon for opera. thanks!

:D

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
