Auto Arrange

[troycicle]

I've been looking a long time, and I can't find a registry tweak where all icons on the desktop are auto arranged. Is this even possible?

[maxXPsoft]

I think I answered this already somewhere

That's a dll call and impossible

at the moment, but who know's maybe someone will come up with something.

this had been treated before, i've got the key

;enable auto arrange and sort by type
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop]
"FFlags"=dword:00000221
"Sort"=dword:00000002

but import it from cmdlines.txt doesn't work

i guess the user must be logged

k thanks SiMoNsAyS

I don't do the auto arrange cause I like my messy desk but maybe i was thinking of something else. Anyway's maybe you helped him, that's the key

k

darn done added to my Tweak app hope you find the solution...

That's one of those thing's i messed with for day's on end

i did search for a few minutes but i can't find what was explained there.

if i remember well, that regkey worked if you logged off and back on but i can't remember the issues with it. i can point you to PM the guy who found it: @jrzycrim maybe he can help you (anyway i doubt if it can be integrated on an unattended installation if it's your purpose)

[maxXPsoft]

Unattended was'nt my intention

I studied this as I've said and I couldn't get it to apply. I'm working on the dll call's though, they are a mystery by themselve's.

SiMoNsAyS, that registry tweak didn't work. I'm thinking about making a script that will just right click on the desktop, and select auto arrange. That will work.

If anyone needs a auto arrange script, just e-mail me at Troycicle@aol.com. I have one all made. It works great!

I also made a script to eject my cd after installation. It works when I'm on my desktop, but it doesn't work when I try using it in WPI when running Vmware. Do you have any idea why?
