| 62289 | 2002-07-14 01:04:00 | Is there a way of getting rid of the letters "MSVDM" from the XP powertoys desktop manager? Its a handy tool, but thos letters take up abit of space on my toolbar that could be used for other things. I am hoping someone knows a registry hack for this?? Cheers....... | slave1 (1022) | ||

To do this right click MSVDM and un tick show quick switch buttons. You can still switch between them by pressing the windows key with either 1 2 3 or 4, You can also configure the shortcuts by right clicking MSVDM and selecting configure shortcut keys. Regards Sam |

Obtain the power toy DeskmanPowertoySetup.exe (download.microsoft.com) (note: I am not responsible if you screw up, or anything else, if you cause a nuclear war, it's your fault, this is just what I did to fix the annoyance.) 2.) turn off the Desktop Manager Toolbar. (stop it from running) 3.) backup msvdm.dll to msvdm.dll.org (in case you mess up) 4.) perform the following hex edit. <pre> Original 00000710 76 00 65 00 72 00 33 00 32 00 00 00 4D 00 53 00 v · e · r · 3 · 2 · · · M · S · 00000720 56 00 44 00 4D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 V · D · M · · · · · · · · · · · New Version 00000710 76 00 65 00 72 00 33 00 32 00 00 00 20 00 20 00 v · e · r · 3 · 2 · · · · · 00000720 20 00 20 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 · · · · · · · · · · · · · </pre> 5.) start your new Desktop Manager toolbar 6.) Those Letters are gone. Final thought: This ain't the best manager, it's not linux, but it is free. It does work when you need it. ~w00t~ Enjoy! |
