How would I do that? And why would it happen, do you think? Thanks for the tip pairustwo

So I restarted Object Dock one day (because left clicking on my explorer icon showed a context menu with only a restore option instead of opening explorer - but that is another post) and after the restart all of my docklets are gone with only question marks in their place. That is except for the clock docklet which is still there and working fine. Now the really weird thing is that the dockelts are still in the Stardock>Object Dock> docklets folder but they don't appear when I right cli
Fresh install of OS and OD - Windows XP and Objectdock 1.20 respectively. Everything is great. I have three docks. One slide out tab dock, one system tray on auto hide and one dock on on auto hide with shortcuts, docklets, and flyout menus. The main dock with all my sortcuts also shows running programs. The problem is that when running programs are minimized to the dock I can't get them back up by clicking or double clicking.
I just got the Complete New Yorker - 9 DVDs that archive 80 years of the best political and cultural journalism on the planet. I was psyched until I fired up the search / view application and got weird .net errors. It took me awhile to figure out that it was fighting with Windowblinds. I added the newyorker.exe to my skinning exclusion list and everything is great. Just a notice for anyone else who might have this prob
I got this in the mail from Andreas Verhoeven (the guy who make the Startmenu Docklet) after asking him about how to create such a shortcut. In Windows, all items that can be shortcuts are so-called PIDLs (actually they have a pidl, but we just name it PIDL for now). The controlpanel is a virtual file on your machine, and
The deal is that I love the Objectdock fly out menu thing. I've got 10 - 15 programs that I use over and over and it seems like a perfect match. Really, if the the OD flyout menu gets to crowded or to deep it becomes not fun to use. Maybe I can just create my own folder full of these 10 - 15 program shortcuts and call it good. pairustwo
DOH! Double post. pairustwo
Well in the mean time I've found this Link which gets me there although not quite as elegantly as I would have liked. If anyone knows of a solution, let me in on it. pairustwo
Yeah, right under the Pinned Shortcuts on the WinXP start menu is a dynamicaly updated list of the most frequently used programs. It is not the programs menu (which shows all installed programs), it shows only x number of installed programs starting with the most commonly used. pairustwo
For the Control Panel, you can drag it to the dock from the Start Menu (with Lock Dragging deselected) Really?!? Cool. Thanks
OD has a nice predefined shortcut to the start menu though when I use that I still find myself digging through the Programs directory structure to find a certain program (Media>Video>Editing>Tmpegnc.exe for example). I never do this when using the real start menu because this program is listed in my most commonly used programs list. I believe that windows creates this commonly used programs list from a registry entry however, and that is not
