Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Your basic desktop icon save/restore for 32 bit windows
|

Ive noticed with several Vista-32 systems that icon layout INSIDE folders on the desktop is often reset to alphabetical order (after program install etc). Since these folders can contain numerous icons it is tedious to restore correct layout.
I now have created a REG save/restore on two keys:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-913379744-1625067961-1115525842-1000\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
&
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-913379744-1625067961-1115525842-1000_Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
It doesnt always work on the newest folder, and key: S-1-5-21-913379744-1625067961-1115525842-1000 is specific for a given Vista system
Surely others would appreciate a proper icon position RESTORE, which extends inside folders.
any veiws?

CLIPSTEP BUGFIX: Under WIN_Vista, the CLIPSEEK button: "Shortcut to Desktop" is now corrected. Many other bugfixes Major Update as of August 13, 2009 Further update for VISTA (Slow system) August 15, 2009 Bugfix on August 30, 2009. Some of the necessary console Apps in "filscrpt_A", and "filscrpt_B" can be downloaded and MUST be placed in clipstep subdir "!filsript". Both zips contain this directory, so unzip to clipstep directory. More contained on http://twm.dcmembers.com

Ive checked properties (from XP) for Documents and settings, and can only see attributes where Hidden is checked and greyed out, and under "Advanced", Archive and Index Attributes.
There is also "Network sharing and Security" under "Sharing" Tab. I havent found "Relocation" option.
My idea is to delete all Vista dirs and unzip different version from ZIPed Backups. My program normally deletes and unzips systems automatically,- but cannot delete Vista "Documents and Settings" and "ProgramData"

I still find it impossible to delete "Documents and settings" and "users" directories from the Vista partition, while running XP. mstTotalAccess Pro doesnt seem to resolve the problem.
The directory attributes that I can change do not make directories deletable.
Can anyone explain this?

Apologies for missing the reply from Ianux128 - I dont normally check this topic.
I am attaching latest bugfix: Corrected App identification. Corrected for ini setting "persist_fast=2" which avoids refilling Label-list each time [Shift]-F5 is pressed
Includes help file "README.TXT" explaining operation. If README.TXT is opened in an Editor and subscript is run, (press [Shift]-F5), the subscript table should appear listing all "Headings" (Labels) and other options. Selecting a table entry should cause the Editor to search for the selected label.

RE: CLIPSTEP (ClipSeek)
Small mod to improve Vista operation for cleaner display
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Further to last posting, I am now attaching the LATEST modified CLIPSTEP and NEW CLIPSEEK programs.
CLIPSTEP is a modified version of Skrommel's Clipstep, which is a clipboard extension app which only uses [Control]+v and [Control]+c and [Control]+x to allow clips to be stored as .CLIP files, and allows selection of stored clips for Re-Pasting. It is now modified to work with CLIPSEEK, a new program (modified form of Seek from Phi) which has two different modes of operation:
CLIPSEEK CLIP Mode: - Displays large table of clipboard CLIPs and shows Clip content - Predefine a Permanent directory for preconfigured applications to store clips - Allows Selection criteria to preselect clips to be displayed, many modes offered - Provides alternative Pasting options and other functions - Can add comments to individual clips, mark clips to preserve/display at top of list - Copy/Cut/Paste Selected block of clip-content from and to clip files
CLIPSEEK Directory Mode: - Displays (Recursed) list of files (and directories), shows file contents/properties/icons for common file-types and common grahics. (uses external programs detailed in help file) - Allows Selection criteria for filename AND/OR contents to preselect files to be displayed, many modes offered. - Can preconfigure settings for Active programs/Apps/extensions, which are automatically selected by ClipSeek when run, or can be manually selected, once .ini is configured. - Various display, selection and sort options - Allows files to be run (if File association exists)/ or Directories to be selected. - Allows listing of Apps (Link files etc) in StartMenu and StartMenuCommon, to search for and run required application. - Can allow MS Word (2000) Document files to be listed with block of contents, on which Selective search can restrict list, to aid in file selection, and run MSWORD with selected file(s).
Excuse the errors if there are any. It all works fine on my system.

Many thanks for the info. I use the same username (as administrator) across the platforms, but I guess system security retricts access.
I will try to check out mstTotalAccess Pro and XYplorer and see if I can manually perform zip backup/restore first.

I have been developing a program to backup complete XP / 98 windows systems to a large dedicated partition for zip backups. Now that I have installed Vista (multiboot system) in a partition, I find it impossible to zip/delete & unzip the vista "Documents and Settings" & "Users" directories from within the XP C: drive.
Can anyone suggest a way to unlock these directories from within XP, or suggest a program that has got round the problem??
