ricktendo Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yes it should be simple, give me a few days to fix my PC and I can make an option (same as my ie icon on desktop tweak) in the folder options for CPL icon on desktop (or use the ie tweak as an example to make the cpl one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
