Hello everybody.

Yes, i must say that new to LS, and i´am able to read.
But i got some problems with configuring my desktop(deskfolders).
-----prob-----
There are 6 icons on the lower left side of my desktop and i want that to change like it is explained in the documentation on deskfolders.dll.
So i edited the step.rc by adding this lines:
module config:
*DeskFolder browse(inPlace) folder(programs) labels(transparent) overlay(false)

position(-180, 32) size(128, 400) view(smallIcon)

--- i copied that one out of the docs.
It adds a deskfolder to the rite side of my desktop.
seems to work like i suggested, but the 6 icons(lower left side )are still there.
I think its two different modules, aren´t they.
How do i configure them to show my desktopicons(there are couple of them) beeing displayed like in Windows_shell?

In Addition. . .

I think my understanding on this module is much better now. I´ve tried for 2 hours to figure it out, did not work lika i want it too.

Iám very satisfied with the thing on the rite side of my dskTop but the few icons lower left side iwant to get rid of.

Can anybody explain where this rect is defined and or how i can delete this one.
I´ve looked up the step.rc and some other docs but don´t find what iám looking for

the rectangle is defined in a *Deskfolder line. You now have two, comment out the old one with a ;.
