Desktop Icons without Text


Recommended Posts

Explorer.exe /n, /e, D:\

I can get the icon, but that command only gets me: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control.

No,.. but I managed to add Run... to it (attachment).

The context menu from the Desktop and other folders is located in Explorer.exe and some items in Shell32.dll.

There are some apps like Mmm Free that can modify these context menu's.

How do I make the icons have text?

I love the right-click menus, but on some icons, I want text.

What would I change in the reg-file?

Chage for example:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}]

"InfoTip"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-22913"

"NeverShowExt"=""

@=""

To:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}]

"InfoTip"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-22913"

"NeverShowExt"=""

@="My Computer" :)

I've had the same problem with some programs,.. I don't know the solution yet but I'm working on it.

Hi!

These shortcuts are great, but i use my taskbar more than the desktop, so i was wondering if there was a way to make customized context menus for my quick launch icons?

Hi kdasummer, welcome to Neowin! :)

You can combine the regs with the folder renaming trick (see the old thread - link in first post).

You can also create new context menu's with YAM (Yet Another Menu).

These context menu's appear on left click (see YAM.html for more info)

I've added a sample (My Computer.mnu) to the attached zip file.

Hello all,

As many people have said before "thanks Herbie". Your icons really are excellent.

Anyway to the point, I have read through your tutorial but admit that I didn't understand too much, so would it be possible for you to create an icon for the upcoming Nero 7?

If you can find the time that would be great. If not well thanks for what you've done so far. :yes:

Here's the new Nero 7 Premium icon. :)

If you used the old version (Nero 6 icon), first merge Remove Nero 7 Premium.reg and then merge Add Nero 7 Premium.reg (it uses the same CLSID address).

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

Here's a little gift for y'all: :D

I've updated the Show/Hide System Files context menu.

This version only works on the English language version of Windows, see ReadMe.txt for info about how to make it work on your Language version.

My Internet Explorer don't start maximized?:((

It opens Internet Explorer @ the last used size (not maximized).

Open Internet Explorer and resize it (not by maximizing it but by dragging the corners) and close it.

I can create an Icon that opens it maximized (using NirCmd).

the new office 03 works great herby! thanks:))

edit: sorry if this has already been asked, but what do I do to make the office 03 double click work? i get the open with dialog again:blush::

586570817[/snapback]

The Default command should open "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office11\OSA.exe" -n (New Office Document).

Do the other commands work?

====================================================>

Here's a new Notepad Icon:>

This Icon uses 2 vbs files ("Paste Clipboard.vbs" and "Paste Clipboard & Print.vbs").

The first vbs file opens Notepad and paste the contents from the Clipboard (copied text) into Notepad.

The second vbs file does the same + opens the Printer selection screen.

Install:> Merge "Add Notepad.reg".

Copy "Paste Clipboard.vbs" and "Paste Clipboard & Print.vbs" to your System32 directory.

Refresh your Desktop.

Uninstall:> Merge "Remove Notepad.reg".

Delete "Paste Clipboard.vbs" and "Paste Clipboard & Print.vbs" from your System32 directory.

Refresh your Desktop.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
