    I like to have my Videos, Music, Downloads, etc. folders on the drive's root instead of under Documents (Vista layout instead of XP layout). How can I achieve this this geek.menu ?

    Thanks

    This is done by editing your locale file- the information on how to do this is shown in the options.. advanced options.. advanced tab:
    *** Locale file settings ***
    Custom directory locations can be defined for the directory buttons (documents, music, etc) through the locale
    file loaded.  Here is an example:

    LOCATION_DOCUMENTS=$TRUECRYPTDRIVE$:\work
    LOCATION_MUSIC=$TRUECRYPTDRIVE$:\work\mp3z
    LOCATION_PICTURES=$TRUECRYPTDRIVE$:\work\photos
    LOCATION_VIDEOS=$TRUECRYPTDRIVE$:\work\videos

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm using geek.menu 1.3.5.2 and I can't find any occurrences of "location" in the locale file.

    Apparently, the *Markdown syntax* messed up your example, can you please post it again using a code block so the syntax is left untouched? Thanks.

    The values aren't in the locale file by default- no reason not to add them.

    As mentioned above, you can grab the text above directly out of the options.. advanced options.. advanced tab, or from the documentation at http://geek-menu.sourceforge.net/documentation/guidetothehiddenunderbelly.htm

    Is there any way to suppress an icon from appearing? I'm trying to hide the explore and music icons. I've edited my local file with the correct labels/path for the other icons, but I can't seem to figure out how to prevent them from showing in the first place.

    There is not currently a way to prevent icons from appearing.  At some point I'll be tackling advanced theming, and almost every aspect of the appearance should be available through themes.
