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:
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.

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
