Desktop Icons without Text


Recommended Posts

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" ?!?  :unsure:

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

Thanks for the link and for the Nero button.. :woot:

Simple and direct question:

How does this trick affect other windows xp accounts?

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.

Herby..

My recycle bin has the same icon all the time.. it doesn't change if the bin is full or empty.. is it because i have a swedish xp?

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".

btw: beautifull country, Sverge (Sweden), I've been there a few times :) , I have family in Alings?s and G?teborg.

No problem...

That's another way that works... :D

@ 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.

Clear_Temp.zip

is it possible to remove the "create shortcut" button ?

585709666[/snapback]

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.

Hi. Can someone please upload the original my documents key because I accidentally deleted it.?

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?

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
