Fridge Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Well, now I'm having so much fun playing with these I wanna do more... does anyone know where there's a list of all the explorer shell control panel things? Not really sure what they're called, but basically so I could add stuff to the control panel button, like add/remove programs. All the commands on it are of the form "Explorer.exe Shell:Something Here". Well, actually, some of them are in other forms. Blah, I guess more my question is what would the commands be for add/remove progs, that's really the one I want to add.

nissmo300 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Thanks a lot... and now I'e got another question :D I'm trying to make a counter-strike button by modding the IE one. Changed the default icon, deleted all the keys in Shell except Open and changed it's command path to "%ProgramFiles%\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 10". This is the same as the path on the regular shortcut I use now, but it's popping up an error message with title "Desktop" and message "Access Is Denied". Any clue what might be causing this? EDIT: Never mind, changing from the %ProgramFiles% to a literal C:\Program Files solved the problem... 584881243[/snapback] He explained it here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...ost&p=584873567 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/page/8/#findComment-584881886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herby Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Herby:But it does not want this position: rename, antivirus, winrar, etc. Some ideas? 584881474[/snapback] Not jet, I don't think that it is possible to change it because it's a folder. It's the only way I know to create one that you can move to any place you like. Well, now I'm having so much fun playing with these I wanna do more... does anyone know where there's a list of all the explorer shell control panel things? Not really sure what they're called, but basically so I could add stuff to the control panel button, like add/remove programs.

Blah, I guess more my question is what would the commands be for add/remove progs, that's really the one I want to add. 584881559[/snapback] Here is a nice tool to play with. It's called "Shell Object Editor" and you can add Shell Objects like the ones I created to the Desktop, My Computer, the Control Panel & the Network Neighbourhood. You can't create context menus or nameless ones with it but it's a great tool (and it's free). If you want to create a nameless one, just give it an uncommon name, search for that name in the registry and delete the value. :) With this program you can also change the icons and locationsfrom existing ones (right click and select Expert Mode).

Herby Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Herby is it possible to remove thows menus? if yes how? 584881858[/snapback] nissmo300 explained how to remove the Winrar commands. :) You can remove the Winamp commands in Winamp Preferences -> General Preferences -> Fyle Types -> Uncheck Show Winamp in Folder Context Menus. It is possible to remove the rest, but when you do that you remove the commands from all folders. thx :) well I found out how can I remove send to if some1 is interested then use this[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Send To] @="{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}" 584881915[/snapback] When you remove that, you remove the Send To menu from all files. :pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224324-desktop-icons-without-text/page/8/#findComment-584882203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissmo300 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Herby, do you know where I can find a bunch of commands? For exmaple the command lines for windows apps not software.

Herby Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) With Shell Object Editor you can change the Icons (without editing the reg file or the registry), edit the Comments, copy or move the Icons to My Computer, the Control Panel or the Network Neighbourhood & you can rename and delete them. :cool: To make the Icons show up, right click the list and select Expert Mode.
