Avedesk is being stubborn and I'm tired of trying to fix it.

All I need is a program that will allow me to put shortcuts on the desktop with custom icons, preferably with adjustable sizes.

Must work with Windows 7 64-bit.

kthx.

How would you like to have a try rainmeter?
It includes desktop show and desktop icons
It can work with win7 64bit
And you can modify it as whatever you want

I worked with rainmeter for an hour today as per your suggestion, and couldn't figure out how to do it. :dabs:

Next.

I know how to use it for what you've done, but I can't figure out how to make shortcuts.

I went to my desktop properties > view > large icons and that looks pretty good with custom icons. :)

O don't use rainmeter for shortcuts lol.... (I mean you can but you will kill yourself trying to get it work and look right)

Your looking for a good shortcut bar(its the bar at the top of the picture). This is simply the best.
They have tons of layouts, im sure you will find one that matches your rainmeter or what ever you decide to make.

Nope. Don't want that. It won't do what I need it to. Even if it did, I'm fairly certain it doesn't work on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
