I recently tried SetNoClick from Fred Fish disk #392 - to stop that annoying floppy drive clicking. I am running WB 2.0 v.68 on a Amiga 3000. Since SetNoClick is NOT an icon, when I select "Show All Files" from the Window menu, it shows up and when I then double click on it, I get a requester, and type "run setnoclick". It then opens a CLI window, and stops the floppy drive from clicking just fine and dandy (so far). But I would like to be able to put SetNoClick in my "Workbench Startup" window, so I have to make it into an Icon. I use IconEdit for that (as I did for mg3, BTW). But now when I double click on the Icon, WB momentarily flashes the notice "Attempting to Load SetNoClick", but NO CLI window opens up and the floppy drive continues to click... Can anyone help?

You can't simply make an icon for a program that was not designed to work from the workbench. If you use 2.0 you can run it using the workbench because the new workbench supports cli programs. But this does not work if you make an icon for it. I suppose you could always make a script and use IconX. You can drag the script icon in the 'Workbench Startup' drawer. I think a better way is to add a line to your startup-sequence : run setnoclock Jorrit Tyberghein
