Drive info icons on desktop?

How to do it?

from WinCustomize Forums
I've seen this on a few screenshots and I would like to do the same on my desktop, but I have no clue how. Could someone explain the steps in an easy to understand fashion on how I could achieve the same thing? I heard someone say it was using DesktopX, I have version 2.x something. TIA.

Hmm, ok, erase that C: stuff from the Start in, I left all those blank. Put the C:\ at the top line where is says Path: this is where the shortcut points to.

Yeah I found the right screenshot.

Have you tried what I mentioned in my other post? That should work.

You need to put C:\ in the Path box. Or just hit browse and select the C drive. You shouldn't need anything in the "Start In" box. I just checked mine out and it works correctly and all I have on that page is c:\ in the Path box.

Ok But now I have 2 know if i can use the icons from ICONPACKENGER with avedesk?

Yeah you can.

Apparently I can save the individual icons from the .icl package with this Axialis IconWorkshop program, cool.


That's what I had to do in order to be able to select individual icons from an icon package. Just open the .icl file from the icon packager (not sure if it has one, I don't use icon packager) and select an icon from the list, then click on the export commands icon to the right of the px size/format dropbox and select export as png with transparency.

When you go to add the desklet, click on the + button next to the PidlShortcut, it should have my computer and the recycle bin there, just select my computer and then add.

I haven't restarted my computer since installing it. I did just save my theme though now that you mentioned it. :S

Other people who have used this for a while: when you restart and you have avedesk set to load on startup, does it load the icons and everything with all the current settings and remember where they are located on the desktop?

I didnt save it as a theme I just left th desklets like thy were, and shut down my pc, When I booted the deslets were on my desktop, so everything works.

P.S. Where can i download more desklets?
