Desktop Icons without Text


Recommended Posts

Okay, I just realized something kinda neat.

I went to go get into my"Shared Music" folder, and i'm like "crap, i gotta minimize everything...I wish this stuff was on my ObjectDock!"

So, I started dragging these new icons over to ObjectDock. They work GREAT! Just right-click on them, and all the options appear as normal.

Gives me an excuse to add the Nero icon too now.

Herby, we should do up an Outlook one, maybe even with Lookout's functionality built-in. I'll try and get the GUID's or whatever in a few.

The older versions (the other thread in Windows Tips, Tricks & Tweaks) also work in docks... :D

I am already working on the Outlook one,.. dunno about Lookout, never used it.

Does Lookout need special commands?

OK,... I get a lot of PM's about changing the Icons & Commands. :)

In this post I shall try to explain how to change some parts of the Office 2003 key.

Open Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit) and search for the CLSID: {00000000-5070-0000-0000-000000000002}.

(You can find this CLSID in the "Add Office 2003.reg" file)

Now go to the "DefaultIcon" key, you see a line like this: "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office11\MSOicons.exe,6".

You can change this line to point to any icon you want, right click on "(Default)" and select Modify, and change it to the location of your Icon.

If you want to change the Command names (the ones that appear on the context menu), go to the Shell key and expand it.

Find the key that you want to change (in this example Excel).

Cick on the Excel key and you see the line: "&Excel 2003", you can change this to any name that you want.

The & character is for the keyboard shortcut, put it before the letter that you want to use to activate the command.

To change the command select the "Command" key and you see a line like this: "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe".

If you use Office XP you can change this to "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office10\Excel.exe".

When you are finished you can export the key: Right click on the key {00000000-5070-0000-0000-000000000002} and select "Export" and you can safe it as a reg file.

I hope this helps you all! :D

does anyone know how to enable drag and drop for my documents??

Here is the My Documents Icon with Drag & Drop function.

Don't use it on a system with Multiple User Profiles, coz it applies to all users.

I had to edit the real My Documents to make it work.

No worries,.. if you import the "Remove My Documents+.reg" it changes back to its original state. :D

You can change the Icon like the original My Documents: Display Properties -> Desktop Tab -> Customize Desktop...

MyDocs.zip

How can I remove shutdown form startmenu? I tryd reshacker but every time I restart that gome back  :no:

You can do that with X-Setup Pro (download here).

Go to Appearance -> Start Menu -> Windows XP -> Classic Startmenu or New Startmenu -> Visible Items... :)

damn Herby, you are a star! Thank you for all these lovely menu's, truly appreciated!
Herby, i didnt use your stuff (one day i might use it), but i watch what you did, look pretty cool and very lovely :)

keep going mate :)

Thanks a lot for all the lovely icons... sure appreciate your efforts

You're all welcome! :happy:

Thanks muchly Herby! I am going to have a play around tonight, see what I can come up with. Just a question, sorry if it has been asked before, and yeah I know it's n00bie to you lol, but how do I track down the CLSID:{xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx} dealies for other programs I have installed / other folders, to have a go at making my own icons for various little apps I have installed.

I also understand that Magician's never reveal their secrets though :p

Herby.....This is awsome....I'm going to try these out today. It's awsome that you are doing requests. I might hit you up for some requests soon enough.

EDIT:Shareaza by any chance?

    • 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.
