Herby Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Here is one for StarOffice 7 if anyone is using it. 585750804[/snapback] Thanks for your contribution!! :) Like bi11y said: use %ProgramFiles% instead off C:\\Program Files (see Guide) Include the line to add it to the Desktop and a reg file to remove it. Keep 'm coming! :D VERY much appreciated Herby, I keep a folder with backups of my website on the desktop and have been trying for awhile to get it to fit in with the rest of the icons :D. Thanks a lot :happy: 585754311[/snapback] You're welkome! :) 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? 585754318[/snapback] I don't know if ObjectDock uses less memory,.. I only know that it works. :) Try adding "::{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}" as a new dock button with Y'z Dock (it's the CLSID from the Textless My Computer). does the recycle bin icon change when there is something in it now? i havent been paying attention to this thread in a while... 585756494[/snapback] The "Recycle Bin MUP" (Multiple User Profiles) still does'nt change the Icon, but it supports Drag & Drop now. If you don't have Multiple User Profiles on your Computer, you can use "Add Recycle Bin.reg" which is fully functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herby Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 i just want to add the microsoft office and the shutdown to y'z dock.. how would i go about adding the registry file to it?(would't mind doing it for winamp/firefox/ 585760757[/snapback] Found a way to add the Icons with working Context Menu's to Y'z Dock without having them on the Desktop: Edit the "Add" reg files from the Icons you want to add to Y'z Dock, go to the last line and replace [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{CLSID}] with [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\NetworkNeighborhood\NameSpace\{CLSID}] This will add the Icons to My Network Places instead of to the Desktop. If you have the Icons on the Desktop, first merge the "Remove" regs and then merge the modified "Add" regs. Now drag any shortcut to Y'z Dock and edit it (right click and select "Property of Dock Item"). To change it to for example the Office 2003 Icon, change the "Link to:" address to ::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}\::{00000000-5070-0000-0000-000000000002} The first part ({208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}) is the CLSID from My Network Places. The second part ({00000000-5070-0000-0000-000000000002}) is the CLSID from the Office 2003 Icon (you can copy it from the reg file). Dont forget to include the :: and the \ ! Clear the Work folder, change the Name and you're done! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgingerich Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Anyone interested in a program that will create these little Gems? It is almost finished and is in beta stage. I may need beta testers in the near future. Here is a screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarStorm Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Is this not going to be freeware?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgingerich Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Sorry to say, no. It took me a while to make this and right now programming is paying my bills. I wanted to say that if anyone whats to take a stab at making a help file (HTML format) send me a PM and you will get a free copy. I may make it freeware in the future. I'm sure you all know how hard it is to pay bills. I agree it should be freeware, but, right now I need the money. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, since it's so simple to add a Desktop Icon Without Text just downloading these regs, I don't think that make your software shareware it's a good idea... :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgingerich Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Yes, you are right. I will add Herby in the credits (sorry Herby). Well, the icons listed here are specific to programs, and some people do not know how to make them (I am thinking of others not on this forum). With this program ANY exe file/folder can be added not just specific to a program. There are future additions/features that will make it stand out. Anyway, not to be rude but, if you don't think it is worth it then you don't have to buy it. As I said, I need to pay bills. So it will stay shareware for now. Sorry.

Herby Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 I really like the program but it's too bad that it's shareware. :pinch: I've also put alot of time in them but I'm not asking money for it (not that I can't use it). Tbhoc is also creating a program for it but he's bizzy with another project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
