Hey just using litestep(great shell :D ) and read the docs from icondesk so i edited the step.rc of the them like this:

;-------------------------------------------------------------
; IconDesk config
;-------------------------------------------------------------

IconDeskGroups desktop
IconDeskDTopFolder c:/Mirc
IconDeskDTopFont "Tahoma"
IconDeskDTopFontSize 12
IconDeskDTopFontBold true
IconDeskDTopFontColor 245 245 245

But it defaults to c:/ ?
I know this is a n00b question but i could not found the answer on the forums or in readme :(

IconDeskdesktopFont "Tahoma"

that should be "c:\mirc", not "c:/mirc"

try putting the path (c:\ftp) in quotes. some configs require it if there's a space in the path or not, some require it only if there's a space, it's kinda messed up. without looking at the module's readme, that's my only suggestion for now. if that doesn't work, i'll download the module and take a look at it some more.

Still does not seem work :(
Even with qoutes its still does not work dunno why mayb a bug or something..

Posted by member 1783 on 2003-06-26 12:52:44 link

that should be:
*IconDeskDTopFolder C:\FTP

so many people forget the asterisk :D

well, it would help if I had even looked at the manual ;)

Posted by member 1783 on 2003-06-27 03:34:15 link
