How do I add a (Textmaker) icon to the desktop? (Solved)
Hi-
Recently I installed Textmaker to my hard-drive installation of Puppy 1.0.2.
When I go into the Rox file manager and drag the icon to the desktop, I get a square with an eye on it and when I click on it then Mpaint opens up. How do I get it to open Textmaker when I click on it?
Also I edited the Fluxbox menu to include Textmaker with no problem, but I would like the desktop icon also. Any help would be great.Thanks. _________________ Playing with Puppy since 1.02 and using 2.15 CE.

Well spotted Ian.
Dragging the icon to the Desktop doesn't do anything.
You have to drag the program itself, then right click the displayed prog and select 'set icon' from the menu.
Drag the icon wanted from a Rox Filer window to the frame with the blue folder in it, and it's done.
I use textmaker at work quite a bit........couldn't live without Block Select mode

Thanks guys. This worked great; I guess sometimes I'm still stuck in the Gates way of doing things. Sorry about the late reply but work got in the way. _________________ Playing with Puppy since 1.02 and using 2.15 CE.
