I will post an update soon to Custom Desktop Logo that will use the default Windows file copy/move status dialogs that should give you the option of not copying over files. I will also add in the Ctrl-Shift+Click option to add a folder. It will bring up the the settings panel with the new folder added in.

Version 2.2 of Custom Desktop Logo is released: http://customdesktop...wikidot.com/download

In this version, I have made Custom Desktop Logo use the default Windows move/copy dialogs when using the logos as drop folders as well as added a disable movement option to the context menu. The drop folder target folders list is now easier to edit because the cells will automatically select the text in the cell when clicked on.

In version 2.1 there was a bug with the multi-threaded move/copy file operation in that if one operation was started and another one started, the first operation wouldn't complete. This has been fixed in version 2.2.

I recommend all users upgrade to version 2.2.

I'm using Skrommels script from this thread and I have to say it's absolutely fantastic. Would it be possible to click on the floating icon and get the locations menu to open an explorer window to there? would ease navigation.

Would be great if skrommel updates his script with this feature and a png support.
.Net less applications are better

All operating systems support GIF, JPG, BMP, ICO, CUR, and ANI images. On Windows XP or later, additional image formats such as PNG, TIF, Exif, WMF, and EMF are supported. Operating systems older than XP can be given support by copying Microsoft's free GDI+ DLL into the AutoHotkey.exe folder (but in the case of a compiled script, copy the DLL into the script's folder). To download the DLL, search for the following phrase at www.microsoft.com: gdi redistributable

Due to an OS bug, animated cursors scaled to a size greater than 90x90 on Windows 95/98/Me might crash the script

(How to add a seperator to the new menu?)

sorry I see what the problem is, I'll fix the code. Don't know about transparent pngs I think AHK scripts are limited by support from AHK

Hm, small false behavior. When I drop a Folder on the icon only the content of the folder is moved, but not the folder to the new destination.

Hmmmmm, how 'bout a variation on the theme where you can drop explorer locked files/folders and get them to delete without restorting to an admin prompt?

(I was using TeraCopy because it didn't tend to leave folders and files locked like explorer and was way faster on big files anyway, but I just upgraded to a gigabit network and Vista64 explorer is so much faster on drag & drop copy that I have to use it.)

hi chashnniel
there appears to be two different apps for download in this thread -- along with some modifications.
What did you use?
