Desktop X right-click menu

Saturday, March 6, 2004 by paxx | Discussion: Stardock Software

Is there a way to have the Desktop X right-cick menu active without having the desktop icons hidden?

I really like that menu, but then again, I can't live without my desktop icons...

I've tried....no go. You can always create a taskbar toolbar linked to your desktop and set it up with large icons

OK, I cann't figure it out. How do you do that?
I created a new object, set it as a taskbar. Now how do I tell it to show the desktop icons on it, not my taskbar icons?

We talkin' two different things I was talking about creating a toolbar on the XP taskbar....sorry if I confusticated you

But Right Click on XP Taskbar and desktop toolbar. Once it's showing you can drag it to dock on a separate side from the taskbar..say like the top. Change it to show Large Icons (they'll be the same size as desktop icons). You can also leave in place on the xp taskbar and change it to show large icons, if you don't have a lot of icons on your desktop.

Oh Yeah...you have to shutdown DX before moving toolbar around. Once in place fire up dx again
