squek Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Y'know it's a lot easier just right clicking the icon > rename > hold down alt and then press 255 on your number keypad. 585009750[/snapback] In this way you still have an orrible blank space under the icon each time you select it.

Herby Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Just a suggestion-- for Winamp you could add: "Jump to File." 585049906[/snapback] Uhmm,.. it has the "Jump to File" command :blink: , check Post #1 (Second Screenshot). :p Here's one for Neowin! Installation: Copy the folder "Icons" to your Windows Directory and rename the Icon that you want to use to "Neowin.ico". Import the "Add Neowin.reg" and Refresh your Desktop.

Atanasovski Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) Mmm, that's odd... the line for "Jump to File" must have been accidentally removed when I was editing the file. I reinstalled and now it works fine. Thanks! Great stuff Herby!
