the dumb mistake was adding it slightly to high in the startup-sequence, the main icom im having a problem replacing is the RAM icon.

I've got a complete backup incase anything goes wrong, its one thing i've learnt from a pc :-)

The ram icon is in prefs/env-archive/sys

it's called def_ram

good luck  :-)

I had another problem with the ram icon, the problem was I was using magic workbench so the default MW icon would always show, but I found its icon in the S drawer.  Since I've replace my standard 3.9 icons my Ram,CD'S AND Floppys drives icon keep appearing halfway down the screen is there anyway i can get them to stay lined up like my other partitions, ive tryed snapshot of all and icons but they just dont want to stay lined up!

Yes, just put the icons where you want them, then do a snapshot, then copy the volumes' disk.info to envarc:sys/def_floppy.info, def_ram.info etc.

I've lined all the icons up perfect and then took a snapshot, But I cant move the disk.info to the envarc:sys/ drawers as they just dont showup! unless I'm using a icon program. So am I mssing someway to get this info files to display on there volumes?

Icons with type "disk" will not show up. They will automatically become the volume icon and will not be visible in the volume's window. If you want to copy it you have to use the shell, like this:

1.>copy df0:disk.info envarc:sys/def_floppy.info

(Check the destination filename as I'm not 100% it's def_floppy.info)

Ah thank you Moto! I'll never get the hang of all those commands :-D

[motorollin]

Heh, you'll get the hang of it, it just takes time  :-)

I learned about AmigaDOS when I was younger and had my A500 (my first ever computer) and used to make compilation floppies with my favourite games. I used to make menus to show what games were on there and load them when a key was pressed.

It's amazing that I can still remember all those commands after all these years!

You'll get there  :-D

BTW, I forgot to mention, you cannot snapshot a CD (it is read only). So you could do this:

1.>copy cd.info ram:disk.info
to make your desired CD icon the disk.info for RAM. Then put the RAM icon where you want the CD to appear. Do a snapshot, then do
1.>copy ram:disk.info envarc:sys/dev_ram.info
