Dang, bi11y, you are the man! :D

EDIT: I keep getting this error:

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.

And, when I right click, all I get is "Games" and it gives me the same results.

Fixed this problem. I also made a neat way to represent each game title. bi11y, you may want to look at it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-2000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
"InfoTip"="Games"
"NeverShowExt"=""

Uhm.. you simply add this

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-2000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Shell\00]
@="&Games"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-2000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Shell\00\Command]
@="Explorer.exe C:\\Games\\"

to the Games Folder modded by me, isn't it?

Hehe.. I already know that..

Did you look in the .reg file at all before you added it..?

I don't know where your games folder is and because of that I leaved the string empty..

I also have a shortcut to my favvos games..

Yeah, I looked at the file, but I was stuck on the slashes. I made only a single slash the first time around, but the second time I tried 2 and it worked.

I finally succeeded to add Drag & Drop support to My Documents and Recycle Bin Mup (Multiple User Profiles version) without modifying the original CLSID values. :D

The My Documents Icon is fully functional but the Recycle Bin MUP still does'nt change the Icon when it's full.

I've updated the first post and added them to the ACM.zip.

Use the remove regs first and then merge the add regs.

See _Changelog.txt for more info.

They work in ObjectDock (with context menu), dunno about Y'z Dock.

Maybe it works if you give them a name and move them to Network Neighborhood, you can do this with Shell Object Editor (right click and select Expert Mode).

See Post #1 for more info & download link.

With this program you can also change the Icons.

I'll add the info about how to undo the "Create Shortcut" mod to the next update.

(Restore the original shell32.dll and merge "Create Shortcut - uninstall.reg") :)

Herby, I'm not sure how you did it, so I don't know if there's a connection, but could what you did with the new My Documents apply to my previous problem of creating a nameless folder on the desktop? This new My Documents you've created seems to be what I'm looking for...

With Shell Object Editor you can move them to My Computer, My Network Places & the Control Panel.

The only way to move them to other folders is to create CLSID Folders.

Example: My Computer

Open "Add My Computer.reg" and copy the CLSID ({00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}).

Create a folder in the C:\ root and name it X.

Open the Command Prompt and go to the C:\ root.

Type "rename X .{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}" without the quotes and with the point. (and past the CLSID)

You can move this folder to any location you want but it has also the context menu from a folder (with the added commands).

I don't know if it's possible to get the Recycle Bin to work with Avedesk (I don't use it).

Here's a Folder Example with Drag & Drop support (attached zip file). :))

For this example it's needed to create a folder named "My Dump" (without the quotes) in your "My Documents" Folder.

If you want to change the location and name of the folder, just edit the reg file:

change the Target location:

"Target"="shell:Personal\\My Dump" to for example "Target"="C:\\Windows\\Dump"

change the command:

@="Explorer.exe /n, shell:Personal\\My Dump" to for example @="Explorer.exe /n, C:\\Windows\\Dump"

Change the name off the comand:

@="My &Dump" to @="Any Name You Want..."

You can also change the Info Tip:

"InfoTip"="Enter your InfoTip here..."

Merge the modified reg file and Refresh your Desktop.

Here is one for StarOffice 7 if anyone is using it.

585750804[/snapback]

Just a tip if you will post .reg files here.. Use this command for were the .exe file is..

@="%ProgramFiles%\\StarOffice7\\program\\soffice.exe"

instead of this..

@="C:\\Program Files\\StarOffice7\\program\\soffice.exe"

Why..?

Because it won't work with a swedish copy because the program folders name is program and it doesn't matter what the partition is namned..

and you didn't wrote this line at the bottom at the .reg file..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{00000000-5160-0000-0000-000000000002}]

thats why it doesn't show up in the desktop..

but it was a good .reg file.. :D

But say i have a custom folder id like to place them in such as F:/Applications, and is it not possible to add to y'z dock, Does ObjectDock use less memory?
