Herby Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 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 584791678[/snapback] I'm not a Magician... :p The easiest way to create a new one is editing an existing one in the registry. Edit for example the winamp key: Import the "Add Winamp.reg" and open regedit & search for the CLSID "{00000000-5020-0000-0000-000000000002}". Rename it to another non existing valid CLSID like {00000000-7001-0000-0000-000000000002}. When u use the Winamp icon on your Desktop, just import the "Add Winamp.reg" again... :) In post nr# 92 I explained how to change the Icons, names & commands. When you changed the names & commands.. delete the commands that you won't use. When you are finished, export the whole key. Edit the exported reg file and add the line: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{00000000-7001-0000-0000-000000000002}] You must add this line to add the Icon to your Desktop. Now import this reg file and refresh your desktop. :D [/Herby] Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/page/5/#findComment-584793093 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Thanks so much for this. Is it possible to be able to allow you to open it up to 'New Search' or 'Media Player' etc..?

Rascally Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 (edited) Herby, I noticed something odd. For some reason, the "My Computer" links and "My Documents" links that open an explorer window...they won't work with Y'z Toolbar. The one on the left is from pressing alt-e. The one on the right is from opening the HerbyLink ;) Edited October 24, 2004 by Rascally Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/page/5/#findComment-584794561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aruvam Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I am having a problem with the winamp icon. I have winamp5 installed in a different folder (c:\program files\winamp5b2) and the icon launches winamp 2.9 which is in the default winamp folder. I tried editing the path in the reg files, but it still uses 2.9 and I want to make it point to 5. Could you tell me how to do that?

Thanks 584810173[/snapback] You'll have to edit the paths in the registry, open regedit and search for the CLSID {00000000-5020-0000-0000-000000000002} , you can edit the commands there...

I've learned alot from them. The first thing I tried when people where asking for the Drag & Drop function was the SFGAO_DROPTARGET but it didn't work... :(( It only works if the CLSID is the same as the original one... (like My Documents & the Recycle Bin) I'm still trying to get rid of the "Create Shortcut" command but so far no go... Hi Herbycan you check the link for the nero icon file It doesnt seem to work:cry:: I love these Icons with no text Keep up your good work 584813298[/snapback] Hmmm,.. the icon works fine here... Try to edit the reg file (the line below ....\DefaultIcon]) to point the icon to nero.exe or NeroStartSmart.exe (or see post #91 how to edit it in the registry).

Rascally Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Now here's one idea I just thought of.... Since I'm using these on ObjectDock Plus (which, by the way, is such a rad piece of software, I've been learning tons of new things to do with this, good money spent!), with their multitude of extended commands...is there any way to make them dissappear from the desktop, but still have the Icons (with their functionality intact) on things like ObjectDock? Like, maybe delete the key at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace?
