Hi all !

Im litestep newbie and my question is simple : How to remove icons "My Documents" & "Network" froms xlabel Desktop ?

I found this in themes/Ghost/config/step.rc :

*xlabeldesktopitem xldi01 10 100 "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"
*xlabeldesktopitem xldi02 110 100 "::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"
*xlabeldesktopitem xldi03 210 100 "::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"
*xlabeldesktopitem xldi04 310 100 "::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"
*xlabeldesktopitem xldi05 410 100 "C:\Documents and Settings\Astor\Bureau\== MP3 ==.lnk"
*xlabeldesktopitem xldi06 510 100 "C:\Documents and Settings\Astor\Bureau\Downloads.lnk"

Already tried to remove lines but it doesnt works, the file is always rewriten like this...

Thx all !

different ways:
easiest: delete the icons you don't wanna see from your desktop folder
for non removeable icons like Workspace, Network: in one file of ghost (I think he set it into skinbase.rc) is a line called:
xLabelDesktopAutoCreate or xDesktopAutoCreate
uncomment the line out and delete the Desktop icon lines you don't want to see from your
/Ghost/config/step.rc

Ok thx mate, true i want to remove "My Documents" & "Network" but the line is already uncommented in skinbase.rc :
.
.
.
xLabelDesktopConfigFile "$configdir$desktop.rc"
If desktopiconson = 2
xLabelDesktopAutoCreate "true"
include "$ConfigDir$desktop.rc"
Endif
xLabelDesktopRememberPosition
;xLabelDesktopItemHeight 70
xLabelDesktopFontSmoothing false
.
.
.

in my first post "step.rc" is wrong sry, in fact its "desktop.rc".
Thx for your help !

already tried to comment this lines :
If desktopiconson = 2
xLabelDesktopAutoCreate "true"
include "$ConfigDir$desktop.rc"
Endif

but now my desktop.rc is empty and i still have "Network" and "My Documents" on my desktop :/

mayboe you don't use xLabelDesktop, iirc norman has also the icondesk as module, maybe you use this

No I have choice betwen icondesk, xlabel and off. "Icondesk" is weird, it puts all drives to desktop... "Off" is nice but i would like some customized shortcuts, and "xlabel" put always "Network" & "My Documents" ...

Im sad :/

ok, step by step:
uncomment the
xLabelDesktopAutoCreate "true"
line, recycle, then remove the icons you don't want.
the autoCreate saves the positions and icons while recycle or exit the module.

good news now ;)
we've updatet again xlabel to version 3.0.7
it has new settings:
xLabelDesktopNoWorkspace
xLabelDesktopNoNetwork
xLabelDesktopNoTrashcan
xLabelDesktopNoMyDocuments

and xDesktop also:
xDesktopNoWorkspace
xDesktopNoNetwork
xDesktopNoTrashcan
xDesktopNoMyDocuments

so if set, the icon will not be seen anymore :D
