Some tips.
-
Icons such as "My Computer" and "Network" are icons
that the program can not find on the normal desktop. Therefore you'll have
to make shortcuts of these in your 3DTop folder.
-
Shortcuts or files can also be dragged onto the 3dtop.
-
Icons that are deleted from 3dtop are deleted from the
normal desktop also (however...see below)!
!- If you don't want the icons of the
normal desktop to be used, you can alternatively copy "3DTop.exe"
to a directory of your choice where you can then store and use your shortcuts
or files (copy them from your normal desktop for instance). If you've done
that you'll realize that it is only a small step to surfing your entire
computer with 3DTop, but that will take some extra time in programming,
while the practical use of it is questionable -!
-
-Windows NT users, if you haven't done it already, set
"smooth edges of screen fonts" in "Display"-> "Plus" to on (checked). This
will make all text look better.
