Looks like it is not text less, maybe you hit the spacebar by accident

Can anyone recommend a nice Dock program to replace the taskbar in XP? :) Might go well with this app. :)

[Myria]

Oh wow, nice job with the little program there. I really like it. :)

Recommending it to friends too.

I'm running windows vista and I cannot get the my documents or the my computer icon to functionally work. is this just my computer.. or is anyone else experiencing this?

[TheHMan]

I am struggling to get my documents to work in RocketDock by dragging it off my Desktop when i did this for other icons it worked so i am confused :blink:

Herby,

I have always wanted to try this but never could get it working- but this time around in Vista it seems to be working pretty well, just a couple of quick Qs:

1) If I try to create an IE7 icon (using your reg file) the icon doesn't show, no matter how many time the screen is refreshed or I reboot - is there something missing that I don't know about?

2) RE: your tutorial, is that what one should use to create their own icons for *any* app? Including games, etc?

Works great! Nice job.

Here is one for Photoshop CS3.

For some reason the Steam.reg in the ACM pack isn't working for me, I click it then refresh the desktop but it doesn't appear.

I don't know if these have been posted or not yet, there are a lot of pages but I could use:

Smart FTP Client

Adobe Photoshop CS3

Steam

Adobe After Effects 7.0

Autodesk Maya 8.5

Aol Instand Messanger (AIM)

Battlefield 2

Just tell me if you need any of those icons to do it.

Keep up the good work!

I see that the first post was last edited on 11 Sep 2007, but I had to do some heavy editing on the My Documents file to get it to work (mostly) correctly in Vista Ultimate, and some aspects of it are still out the window....and the same for the My Computer....

Plus, I found the Vista icons and used a couple of my own (that I found actually) and fixed some others to make it all look good....

Now off to your tut on how to make them yourself so that I can get to work on the apps that I have / use that others don't....

Oh, and BTW - when I use the add Recycle Bin it adds the Recycle Bin with the name, which is removable from teh Vista Desktop Icons interface every time. Addingthe MUP worked, but I like having the icon change to notify me when I have trash, as I usually [sHIFT]-[DELETE] everything but every now and again I miss something, or QuickPar sends it to the RB instead of erasing it....the RB has the entries you ahve added to it as commands, but it still ahs the original RB entries as well, including the 'delete' entry that has a lot of people stuped becauase they end up deleting the RB from teh desktop and don't knwo what to do....

But, since I have every other Icon nameless I just gave this one a name of a " " :p

Thank you !you software is very powerful !

This is brilliant dude, you have built a great collection of reg tweaks. Wonderful.

[johngalt]

I had a request via PM to get the icons that I had modified for Vista. Here they are folks. These are *only* the modified icons - please get Herby's original set for the instructions, along with necessary files (like NirCmd) to make every thing work correctly.

Also, be advised that the CD-DVD drives reflects *my* drive set - and includes both physical drives as well as Daemon Tools drives.

Enjoy!

Vista_Set.zip

P.S.: I also didn't include the icons, but left the path statements in the appropriate places - copy whichever icons you want to use (firefox and Thunderbird, IIRC) to the path list, or change the path and copy the icons there, to use them).

Is there a way to put a drive icon on the desktop in the same manner? I have an external drive hooked up to my computer and made an icon on the desktop however, I had to make my own commands. Does anyone know the "shell" or "shellex" or whatever so that the right click gives me the same menu as if I were clicking on my drive in "my computer?" This way I wouldn't have to make seperate commands to 'open' 'safely remove' 'virus scan' etc... Plus I want to be able to get the properties of the drive but I don't know the command for that.

Thank you,

AP

...cont. of my post above...

The code is below. Basically I want to not have to make all the shell-command folders but be able to pull up the same menu that I see when I right-click in My Computer. I think there's something that I could put under shell or shellex or propertysheethandler or something like that - I'm not sure...

Thank you,

AP
