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?

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
