Icons can be changed in Shell32.dll....

If i recall correctly you can prevent the expanding of "Deze Computer" via TweakUI

I found the icons. Big thanks for that :)

Now just prevent My Computer and My documents from expanding.. It couldnt find it in TweakUI :(

Anyone know a other way?

I was mixing up the control panel.... sorry...

But if you want the explorer to open create a shortcut to explore.exe, on the properties tab enter the following:

Target: %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Start in: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

I probably need more coffee LOL

Just create a new folder in your start menu called "Deze Computer" inside that folder create shortcuts to the drives and folders you need.

C:\ would be: %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\

D:\ would be: %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,d:\

etc....

My Documents would look like this: %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\documents and settings\Administrator\My Documents\

or depending on how you want to view it: %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,c:\documents and settings\Administrator\My Documents\

All the new shortcuts can have their icons changed to reflect your drives and (special) folders....

I get a error:

c:\documents and settings\Administrator\My Documents\ doens't exist or is a folder

Same happens if I replace Administrator with my own account name.

You need to replace the path with what is valid for you... So everything has to be turned into Dutch...

I'm Dutch myself but i completely forgot what XP uses for "Documents and Settings"... :laugh: maybe it's "documenten en inststellingen".... :unsure:

"My Documents" needs to be replaced by "Mijn Documenten" either way....
