Now I have another interesting thing happening. I must have changed something I should not have. When I open my computer and double click on any of my three drives (c,d,e) it opens a separate search window. It did not do that before, so I must have messed something up. Any ideas? I went in to the area suggested, My Computer > tools > folder options > file types. I found drive, didn't think I changed anything, but I must have.

I also did get an error message when I re-installed iconpackager. It seemed to work fine, and unfortunately, I did not write down what it was. I have since uninstalled iconpackager again.

Here is the 2nd. I hope these can help. I think I got to the area you were talking about, but I have never been in the registry before, so I don't want to mess around without some input. Thanks again. [img]http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2010/screenshot3fw2.jpg[/img]

Thanks Corky_O. I had tried the display properties stuff. No change there. As you suggested, I re-installed iconpackager. Now, any package I try (I tried the ones that come with the program and I also downloaded a few) none of them change the icon for the c drive in my computer. I then went into the registry. I went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon. There is one for icofile, and then under that is another for defaulticon. The defaulticon shows the values you s

I used the program to go back to windows default icons before I un-installed the program. I thought that may change it, but no luck.

wierd problem in my computer in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

I had something wierd happen, and I am not sure what caused it. When I open up my computer, the c drive has no icon. When I had iconpackager loaded, it did, but nothing since I unloaded it. Also, when you double click on the c drive, the panel on the left shows video tasks. I don't remember installing anything new or chaning anything at the time. I tried several different windowblind skins, I unloaded all stardock products, thinking that would correct it, bu

I would not say that is an idiot question. I struggled finding info on it was well. I did not want to buy the wrong card and end up just wasting time and money. Setting it up is super easy, and once you go dual, trust me, you will never go back. It rocks. I bought an EVGA GeForce 7600 GT KO (newegg.com). It has dual dvi outputs. It also came with two dvi to vga adaptors. Setup could not have been easier. You simply put the card in, power up and follow the few steps of instructions. I h

Thank you both for the info, and for a quick reply. I do not have any experience with graphics programs. I have taken paint here and there to tweak a picture or wallpaper or two, but that is all. I will check out the links you sent so far. Thanks again.

Tools/tips for new skinners in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I purchased the full suite of Stardock products a few months ago. I really enjoy them and have found a number of skins that I really like. The next thing I would like to do is to maybe make some changes to those skins and possibly make my own. I guess I am looking for two things. 1. any tips you all have for a new skinner 2. tools of the trade - for example, is photoshop required to make my own WB skin? Thanks for the input everyone. <

moving windows on dual monitor with WB in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I installed a dual monitor setup before I got into OD. Both rock. For those who do any significant amount of work on a computer, a dual monitor setup is a must. My question is this. My Nvidia card came with an option to add a button on the window where you could click on it and it would move the application window to the other monitor. You did not have to re-size/shrink it and drag it over. It was very handy. Once I applied a WB theme (same result with t
