i am trying to use icondesk to make an explorer style desktop (i have read the other posts, they have helped) but one problem i'm having is configuring icondesk. I am editing the simplicity theme, and have added these lines to the base.rc file, straight after the desktop2 settings:

IconDeskUpdateInterval 1000
IconDesksGroup win_desktop
IconDeskwin_desktopSize 32
IconDeskwin_desktopVisible true
IconDeskwin_desktopX 0
IconDeskwin_desktopY 0
IconDeskwin_desktopSpacingX 10
IconDeskwin_desktopSpacingY 10
IconDeskwin_desktopDirection right
IconDeskwin_desktopWrapDirection down
IconDeskwin_desktopWrapCount 20
IconDeskwin_desktopFont "verdana"
IconDeskwin_desktopFontSize 12
IconDeskwin_desktopFontBold false
IconDeskwin_desktopFontColor white
IconDeskwin_desktopTextSpacing 5

*IconDeskwin_desktopFolder "C:/Windows/Desktop/Litestep/"

The problem i am having is the settings aren't changing, and the default C:\ folder is being displayed instead of C:\windows desktop

I have already tried adding spaces between the parameters (eg IconDesk win_desktop Size 32)

any suggestions?

well, you have slashes instead of backslashes. just a guess, but that COULD be it.

no, that didn't help either :(
its not just displaying the desktop folder that is the problem, the whole configuration isn't working

stupid question, but you ARE actually loading the module itself, correct? also, since there are no spaces in the desktop path, try removing the quotes-some modules won't work correctly WITH quotes if there's no space in the path(I have no idea why).

also, remove the " " around the folder path...

here:

That should do it :)

yup :) it should be:
