Herby Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 And what if you don't have the english winxp? It still works, and you can translate it. :D But you must only edit the names, not the commands! The hex commands are easier to edit in the registry.

Herby Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Master Volume Button Installation: Import "Add Master Volume.reg" and Refresh your Desktop. When you use NVMixer import the "Add Master Volume+.reg". Playback & Recording Controls open in Compact View, Press CTRL+S to switch to Normal View. When you want to adjust your Master Volume, just Click & Scroll. :D To remove it, import "Remove Master Volume.reg" and Refresh your Desktop.

Rascally Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Now what's REALLY kinda neat is when you combine say, the recycle bin without text, with the longhorn recycle bin icon, and that rather super-awesome "bahamas" wallpaper that StefanKa made famous, and...it just looks like it fits in: Yep, the things I notice at 1am.

Rascally Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I may be just slow, but how come the recycle bin uses whatever icon I assign to the recycle bin (in iconpackager), but the control panel, my computer, etc...they all keep the stock ones no matter what I change them to? (They're changed on the start menu and everything else) What'd I miss? :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/#findComment-584677467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herby Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 New Recycle Bin: I've added the "Clear Temp" Command which removes all files in the "C:\Windows\Temp" directory that are not in use. (suggestion from REBELinBLUE) You can change or add more Commands by editing the line: @="Cmd.exe /C del /S /F /Q C:\\Windows\\Temp\\*.*" If you want to use Multiple commands you must first add the Command Separator '&&' followed by the second Command: @="Cmd.exe /C del /S /F /Q C:\\Windows\\Temp\\*.* && Cmd.exe /C del /S /F /Q C:\\Windows\\Prefetch\\*.*" Recycle_Bin.zip Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/#findComment-584677591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
