i was wondering how to create a shortcut for "my computer" unsure.gif
well i did it this way:
shortcut points explorer.exe, in parameters i used "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}::" (regkey for my comp) and in "start in" i used %windir%. this way shortcut works perfect but rightclicking it don't let me use my menu entries confused.gif
then i used "shell:DriveFolder" as the shortcut with the same consecuences and a new ugly sub-label.

question is: how can i create a my computer shortcut and preserve my rightclick menu? whistling.gif

unfortunately ive had no success doing that either, but its not significant as the one in the Start Menu works.

Below is a list of locations in case someone may need it.

I'm getting spammed with questions in my mailbox, so maybe it's a good idea to make a Hints & Tips topic. If not, I'll trash it

Why do my labels keep returning to the filename when using the shortcut, drive or folder desklet?
There is an option to automatically update the foldername on rename for these desklets. You need to disable that option.
See this screenshot too.

When I use <font name> My label disappears!
It's probably because you tried to use a Type1 font. Type1 fonts are not supported by AveDesk1.1. Try to use a different, similiarly looking font. For example, Lucida Sans Unicode is similiar to LucidaMAC.

How do I make a shortcut to <typical location> ?
In the Shortcut Desklet, you can use own of these links in the path field. Note that a link to My Computer is Shell:driveFolder

Hey... Help... Well, I guess that's why I'm here lol. When I make the icons for my shortcuts on the very bottom, they dissapear completely. I am using win. xp pro, with litestep. O! and I use custom not system icons.

After having this proggy for a week I finally figured out how to do shortcuts!!!!
SiMoNsAyS
just a thought but you could try it without litestep
