Hi,
Is it possible to remove the floppy and hard drive icons (:4 and :0) from the icon bar, but still have them accessible and then be able to add my own icons for (say) the hard drive which might point to a different location instead of the default (adfs::idedisc4.$) .
I did manage to start to come up with something, I tried the following:
10 *RMKILL FILER
20 *RMREINIT FILER
30 *ADDTINYDIR $
(Line 30 is just there as a test)
I get a directory icon on the icon bar called "$", but if I click it I get an error
"Use *desktop to start filer"
But if I use *desktop, I get the error "desktop is in use".
Any thoughts on this one?

I'm pretty sure there was a utility for customising the icons (smaller icons, custom layout) at some point but I never had an issue with the icon bar, so I never much bothered looking into it. It was something like some system-level equivalent of !TinyDirs (am I thinking of the right app? It allowed you to stick directories and programs on the icon bar as if it were a folder) to do what you want. I'll poke around on my RISC PC and see if I can find what I'm thinking of. |

I think *RMKill ADFSFiler might work better (but still isn't a great solution, because if you remove the drive icons you won't be able to see the free space or format a disk).
Minidisc can remove the drive icons and replace them with a single menu: http://minidisc.iconbar.com/
I think Director is another alternative: http://director.sourceforge.net/index.php |
