Popup Programs Configuration Thread last updated on 2004-01-25 12:41:34

I'm using WinXP, and the default Austerity theme. What I want to do is, remove the shortcuts from [C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu] from the popup. So I have only the shortcuts from [C:\Documents and Settings\(myuser)\Start Menu]in it.

I searched through the popup docs, through theme.rc, popup.rc, themevars.rc but couldn't find anything. I also searched google and these forums without any result.

Please help me!

Uh... I can't get it to work.

Where in the popup.rc should I put this? I didn't remove the quotes, should I? I copied that line at the bottom of the popup, remplaced "Put a name here" by "My programs" and entered the correct path, and it's not working =\

if you look carefully at the popup.rc you will see the entry that builds your Start Menu. You will notice that both items are in there. Now if you want to remove All Users from it remove $CommonPrograms$ and the pipe associated with it. I don't remember what the line looks like off the top of my head but you should be able to figure that out.

Ok found the problem. I was editing the popup.rc in my configdir. The right one is in the personaldir, right?

Thanks for the help.
