Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to add a new icon of my app to the Windows
My Computer?
I know Virtual Drive, but I don't really need a storage mapping, but an
option to launch my application from My Computer.
Is it possible?
Thanks!
Tom.
 
Hi Tom,

As far as I know, the .NET framework doesn't contain methods to add icon to
My Computer windows. To add an icon in My Computer window, you may need to
modify the registry. Here I found some one achieved this on Windows 95. I
think you can try it on Windows XP to see if it works.
