Guest bdd Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 How does TweakUI populate My Computer Icons tab? I have different users with different sets of availible icons on that tab....Might be able to fix another problem.... One user displays: Control Panel & Files Stored on This Computer Another user displays: Control Panel (only!) TIA
Guest Kelly Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Re: How does TweakUI populate My Computer Icons tab? Go to Start/Run/Regedit and verify this key and values: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\My Computer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders Sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If this subkey is not present, you will not have the group: Other files stored on this computer. Other than that, if you are using TweakUI check your settings under - My Computer/Files stored on this computer. And/or run the edit on line 56: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Added info: To get an account's My Documents folder to appear in Windows Explorer (Files stored on this computer), add/edit a key in the DocFolderPaths branch like so: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths] "user"="C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents" In the right pane, right click and choose New/String Value. Give it the name of the user. Double click the name once added and type in: C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\My Documents -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "bdd" <bdd@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D2DF15B9-EC35-4D22-B312-D17480B35758@microsoft.com... > How does TweakUI populate My Computer Icons tab?

Guest bdd Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: How does TweakUI populate My Computer Icons tab? Thanks for responding....but... All is set (always has been) as you listed...In TweakUI I only lists a single checkbox for the control panel and NO checkbox for the "Files Stored on this Computer" at all.... This is just for my NON administrator profiles...
