shortcuts with icons in system tray take two clicks - help in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

i have a group of shortcuts--winamp, aim, firefox, direct connect, and a folder. i set it so if i click on any of them, it will open the current instance instead of a new instance of the application. unfortunately, since winamp and AIM minimize to the system tray, i have to click on them twice to bring them to the front, as opposed to clicking once on the rest of them. i can minimize winamp and aim to the taskbar, but i am looking to

meh, i don't really want a systray dock, because that won't show a winamp/aim icon when they aren't running. i want one icon for winamp, aim, firefox, etc. regardless of whether they are running or not.

ok i sort of figured out the problem but i still need help. i realized i can still have the setting checked to open current instances. the reason winamp and AIM take two clicks to pop up are because they minimize to my system tray (which i dont display), and not the taskbar. if i set winamp to minimize to the taskbar, it will only take one click from the shortcut/quicklaunch. but that defeats the whole purpose of things--i don't want winamp

i have five quicklaunch buttons--winamp, aim, firefox, direct connect, and a folder. i want to check "...and if clicked, shortcut should show currently running..." but when i do, it takes two clicks to open winamp, i'd rather it one. one click on aim opens my open aim windows--not what i want. two will do that and open my buddylist. and one click to open up firefox, direct connect, and the folder--which is what i want for all
