I do not know how you change the DESKTOP RIGHT-CLICK menu with DesktopX, i have never seen a setting for this, or a way to program this option.
The only RIGHT-CLICK i know of is when you click on an object or the tray icon.
Unless someone else knows how to do this, i have no idea what to tell you.

how do you create a virtul explorer.. in other words view a directory structure, and have DesktopX show it in either an explorer pane or a 3d plane
there are lots of vb tutorials on how to get a dir structure.
im sure they could be made to do what you want.
Here is a tutorial sViz did on something like this: WWW Link
Id look that over and see how he did things.

I'm gonna continue to pursue this in a separate thread specifically about the issue, i don't want to be taking away from this thread about tutorials etc... It could go on and on and that would be better happening in a separate thread. Thanks for your input so far though, ill see what else i can root up about it...
Keep up the good work man!

What im thinking is:
I'm probably not the only one that doesn't like the standard menu and would like to change it.
I think its a waste of resources to have to install a totally separate application (IE RightClick in this instance) just to get rid of a feature in DesktopX, surely that isn't an efficient solution.
Perhaps it should be a feature that is introduced into DesktopX (or re-introduced as the case may be)? Seeing as we are in an era of customizing everything on a PC, surely the lack of ability to be able to do something with this menu is a bit limiting?
They are just my thoughts. As i said, maybe its a bigger issue than just myself not liking the menu, maybe its a DesktopX feature that should be looked into?
