Desktop Icons: Switching Places

Featured Replies

I want to use the Windows XP style start menu as you all may have read before. haha.  But see, if I do that and do not use the classic style, then I have to add a registry tweak for showing certain icons on the desktop, here is what I use to do that:

;Display Desktop icons
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
"{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"=dword:00000000
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

But I also want them to be displayed in that order which is:

My Computer

My Documents

Recycle Bin

Internet Explorer

Obviously if I just leave the tweak like that the order it puts the icons in is first My Computer (I added the 00000054 binary tweak to do that) then My Documents and then Internet Explorer. Yep, the Recycle Bin still shows up way in the bottom right-hand corner.

So I found a tweak to move it over by the rest of the icons and it is:

;Move Recycle Bin by the rest of the icons
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000000

But that makes it just show up under the Internet Explorer icon and I want it ABOVE it.

Now everything I try to get the Recycle Bin to appear above the Internet Explorer icon doesn't work. I have searched everywhere and I cannot find anything

By the way, th code I used to get the My Computer before my documents is this:

;Order icons for the Desktop
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}]
"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000054

Thanks for your help. Good luck with this one ;)

Is there an easier way to do this rather than manually after unattended install is finished?
