Customization :: Best Way To Add Custom Tiles
Aug 31, 2015I've seen some different solutions, but I've been wondering what really is the absolute best way to add your own custom tiles to the start menu. Hopefully without having it open a separate program everytime you want to use one of your own. Currently Windows 10 makes all the icons smaller which I absolutely hate.
Here's what I am talking about:

Customization :: Can't Use Custom Sounds
Apr 16, 2015I use a lot of custom sounds on my computer, they are all saved in .wav format. Up to this build of Windows 10TP they have worked.
But since updating to version 10049 they don't work anymore. I can play them from the folder they are in, but if I try and add them to Windows Sounds through the Sounds control panel the icons turn yellow and they won't play.
This may go along with Cortana not talking in this version, and I've found that the Text to Speech function in this version of Windows 10 doesn't function either.
Upgrading / Not Custom Install From USB ISO
Oct 20, 2015I get to the advance boot menu of my windows 8 laptop, select boot from USB and go through putting in my product key and then I select UPGRADE not CUSTOM. it then proceeds to give me this message: "The computer started using the Windows installation media. Remove the installation media and restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. Then, insert the intallation media and restart the upgrade"
So following the instructions I remove the USB and click close in the bottom right of the window, and then another window flashes too fast for me to read and then takes me back to the original windows set up screen with the big install now button. I then exit out of this window and confirm I want to stop the installation. At this point the USB has been removed and the laptop restarts. Am I supposed to put the USB back in while it is restarting? When I land back on the home screen I repeat the process of holding shift and restarting and selecting the USB to boot from and the vicious cycle continues. I really don't want to have to do a fresh install of windows 10 as I don't want to lose all of the files. I can back everything up worst case scenario but I would like to just upgrade as I never received the upgrade sign in the bottom right months after windows 10 was released, so I took it upon myself to make an ISO.
Custom Icons For Individual Files

View 5 RepliesCustom Folder Pined To Taskbar?
Aug 30, 2015Is there a way to pin one or more folders to the taskbar?
I know I can access it through the file explorer's jumplist but this involves too many clicks, and I like to be able to access my Downloads and Dropbox folder from the task bar, not the start menu.
Or at least if I double-click on the file explorer icon in the taskbar, it takes me to my custom folder straightaway instead of 'This PC' or 'Quick Access'...
How To Create A Custom Desktop Icon
Feb 23, 2016I would like to create a shortcut icon on my Windows 10 desktop to execute the following command:c:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Thunderbird hunderbird. exe -safe-mode.I seem to recall that this was easy in earlier versions of Windows. (As were many other actions!).
View 4 RepliesCustomization :: Custom Sound Set Not Syncing
Oct 8, 2015I like to use my own sound effects for Windows and keep them in My Documents. So I right click on the speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner and select sounds. Then find and select my own wav files for each event I'd like to use.If works for a while, but then reverts back to default.
I have another PC, a laptop, and would like to use the same sound set on that too - except the laptop does not have the same files on it. I had hoped that the laptop sound theme would sync from the desktop, but clearly not! Could the laptop not having the relevant sound files be the cause of the desktop's sound theme reverting to default?
Customization :: Custom File Icons
Jan 3, 2016I've got a program that creates various file types; some of these are associated with the program and display its icon. Is it possible to keep the file association, but change the icons for some of the associated types so they stand out in a listing?
If so, then ideally I'd like to extract the icon from the exe, make three slightly different versions, and make these display (at all scales) for the three main file types. I have Photoshop CS5.
Customization :: Custom Themes Not Working?
Oct 18, 2015Whenever I try to use a custom theme downloaded from the likes of DeviantArt, I get this (i.e. horrible big borders and boxes round the minimize etc buttons, and no element of the theme), it's basically the same as the inbuilt Aero Lite theme:

View 1 RepliesPerformance :: New Custom Build - PC Freezing Within Games
Feb 10, 2016My new custom desktop build is around one month old now. I am experiencing issues while gaming, for example AC Syndicate.
Sometimes I get an BSOD, but thats very rare. Also, the BSOD is freezing as well, so Windows is not even generating dump files. It only happened one time. That one time I collected the dumps to start a thread here: New Custom Build - BSOD within Games - Windows 10 Forums
But as BSOD crash analyst axe0 said, without dumps we cant analyze anything... What has been done?
- Reformatted PC, then I thought the issue is solved, but it came back...
- All non-microsoft services are disabled
- All startup entries are disabled
- Memtest ran around 12 hours, no issues
- Used HWMonitor to check temperature while gaming and freezing, no heat issue detected.
- Ran Furmark around 3 hours, no freezes...
- Replaced GPU, no changes...
- BIOS is up2date, but there is a new BIOS which I tried to install, but BIOS said "cannot read file"
ASUS
--> Currently running on v1104, published on 2016/01/14
--> most up2date BIOS is v1105, published on 2016/01/20 - not able to install it
Customization :: Can't Change Folder Icon To A Custom One
Aug 13, 2015I created a new folder on the desktop and I can't change its icon to a one I downloaded. selecting the icon from the stock list (shell32.dll) works fine though. I tried with another folder in different location, still no luck. however, when I created a shortcut to the folder I placed on the desktop, I can change its icon to the custom one just fine. I just wanna have a folder with a blank icon.
edit: I fixed the issue. turns out Windows didn't like the fact that there was an "ą" letter in the icon path.
Customization :: How To Add Custom Folders To File Explorer
Feb 10, 2016After installing Dropbox, I notice that there's now a custom link to the Dropbox folder in my File Explorer > Navigation Pane > Desktop list (see screenshot below).
How I can add such (sym?) links to other directories on the computer?
Specifically looking for ways to add to list in the "Desktop" section of Navigation Pane... not the "Quick access" list.
My thinking is... I'd like to consolidate shortcuts to my custom cloud storage folders. Right now there's OneDrive (built in to W10) and Dropbox, and I'd like to add similar links for my Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, etc. directories. Trying to have them all appear together under "Desktop", rather than split between Desktop and Quick Access.

View 9 RepliesCustomization :: Setting Custom Icon To Folders
Dec 20, 2015 I wrote a batch script to set a custom icon to folders:

ECHO IconResource=C:Windowssystem32imageres.dll,22>>%1desktop.in_
move %1desktop.in_ %1desktop.ini
attrib +S +H %1desktop.ini
The desktop.ini it produces is identical to the one when doing the process manually:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=C:Windowssystem32imageres.dll,22
But it doesn't work. It only works if I set the folder icon manually.
Customization :: Create Custom Shell Folders?
Aug 13, 2015Is there a known way to create your own custom shell folders or "special folders?" Default shell folders are Documents, Pictures, Downloads, etc. The benefit of a shell folder is you can place it in a Users' Personal Folder, but have the location actually be in another location (even another drive).
An example of a program adding a shell folder would be Zune with "Podcasts."
A shell folder can be identified by its "Location" tab in the properties menu.
I'd like to create my own shell folders to things like "Books" or "Programs" etc. with kinds of files I make. Sort of like a library.

View 7 RepliesNew Custom Build Shuts Off And Restarts Automatically?
Feb 15, 2016I just built a new system with an Intel Core i7 6700k, GIGABYTE Z170X Gaming 7 motherboard and a GIGABYTE R9 390 GPU. I also have a Samsung 950 PRO M.2 SSD (boot drive) Samsung 850 PRO 2.5" SSD and Windows 10 Pro.
I first got all the parts and built the system and everything worked fine. I installed Windows and began running burn in tests on the GPU. The computer was great. Then I received my Corsair accessories like my light bar upgrade kit for the Dominator Platinum DDR4, blue individually sleeved DC cable kit for the AX860i and a front I/O panel for the Obsidian Series 350D(it was for a USB 3.0 exchange on my 650D case).
So after I changed out front USB 3.0 port cables, swapped out all the cables running into the PSU, and changing the light bars on the DIMMs, I put it all together and I got nothing on the motherboard. The system wouldn't even start up. In fact, none of the LED lights on the motherboard worked. So after playing with some cables, I got the lights to work, but then the system would shut off and restart automatically. So I changed out the motherboard and GPU. I then put the system back together and it still wanted to reboot automatically. I then waited 2 weeks to exchange the RAM, but it still does the same thing. Finally, I just swapped out the Corsair H105 AIO cooler and still the same thing. All the lights come on, all fans start, the H105 looks like it's starting, but then after 5 seconds, it shuts back off.
