alright.. i have no clue what u skilled people use.. but was bored so i started messing around with my desktop.. the only way i could figure out how to add text links to folders is using frontpage.. but when using it.. the windows that pop up have the standard folder icons rather then the one i changed ages ago... so what programs do u guys use to get text links on ur desktop.. if it is frontpage.. how do u guys get programs to launch.. all it does for me is bring up a can not display page.. mucho gracias to u all in advance
if u want to launch a program, u will link it this way: run:c:what/ever/your/root/is.exe and you will need the runProtocolHandler program, fin it in http://www.virtualplastic.net
If you wanna take a bite into webdesign, first try Frontpage, learn about all the basic HTML is creates and what it's used for. Then go a li'l more professional, and get yourself Dreamweaver MX. And when you finally got the grasp of pure HTML code, get yourself Homesite, which is about the best enhanced text editor there is, which means ideal for stepping into the realms of javascript and PHP.
Take a look at this scrshot for example: http://www.customize.org/details/19061 You'll see links embedded in the desktop under the word "launch". Active desktop etc.. I'm gonna try this too i think.. when i have the time =P
I guess as a student computer science, it's a character flaw to get the best out of your computer. OK, I only have a 450 Mhz, but with 512 MB RAM, a GeForce 2 64MB and 120 Gb harddisk space I can't complain.
Anyway... That also why I use winamp 2. Next to the fact that is easily skinnable, it also uses almost no resources on the contrary to winamp 3 or sonique 2.
Oh yeah, and about sonique... I meant sonique 1.96. Though sonique 2 is only in the alpha stage, it looks promising. Let's hope it's easier to skin than winamp 3, and the future for sonique lies open.
lol i know exactly what you mean, always trying to get the most speed and best performance. me too. Sadly, winamp3 is a memory hog. I'm not using it either. The direct link to the page anetalaya was reffering to: http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/art_htm.html I'm reading it now, maybe time to get something customized for once O_o ( . Y . )
thats weird, i have a 400MHz processor and winamp 3 hasn't slowed my computer with any noticable difference. Maybe because i use a different shell than explorer?
.compo i'm not sure, death looks like fun, why don't u demonstrate so i can find out :D :: [.peace]
WOW... Me and Max actually agree on something. What's going on?! ;-)
I dunno what's going on with Nullsoft, but since they have been taken over by AOL, they kinda suck. Too bad, cuz there's nothing better to use for music than winamp 2.
