assigning icon to object with desktopx?
Monday, November 18, 2002 by Jack B | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I did a search and didn't really find anything so here's my question: I want to create shortcuts on my desktop to programs (similar to the launch menu). When I create an object, the icon can only be .ico, .png, .bmp, or .tga. Most of my programs have the icons in the .exe. How can I assign an icon from an .exe file to the object on my desktop? Thanks for any help!

When I drag and drop a file to the desktop, nothing happens. Nothing is created and I don't even get a menu when I right click drag it.

in the DX config menus, try enabling the option to hide desktop icons first. Look around in the config area. I can do this with no problem, but I don't know specifically which option you have to config. I can't load DX at the moment, but I know it's in there somewhere.
