Sort desktop icons in custom order


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I figured out how to get the icons I wanted to appear on the desktop in unattended install but still keeping the Windows XP Start menu. I was wondering, the 4 icons I want are My Computer, My Douments, Recycle Bin, and Internet Explorer... and in that order too! See, right now the icons will show up as My Computer, My Documents, Internet Explorer and then the Recycle Bin is way off in the far bottom-right corner. Anyone know how to change the order so the recycle bin comes before ie?

this is the order i want:

My Computer

My Documents

Recycle Bin

Internet Explorer

registry tweak to do that
  ;----- Specify The First Desktop Icon: (48)=My Doc's  54  =My Comp

  ;-----

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}]

"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000048

Yes but wont that then just make the My Documents folder appear first.

Because in my unattended install i used that tweak but I used 54 (so the my computer would appear first) and it did

But the Recycle Bin still appeared in the bottem right corner while the ordered icons on the left side were:

My Computer

My Documents

Internet Explorer

FINALLY I FOUND IT! GOD I AM SO HAPPY! So if you want you Recycle Bin Icon to not appear off in it's own little corner when doing an unattended install... use this tweak. :thumbup

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000000
