Start Menu For ObjectDock
Thursday, March 9, 2006 by JaminHAT | Discussion: Docks
Hey,
I am becoming more advanced with ObjectDock and recently i saw a file to install a start menu from the object dock. I know you can use the file path of C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu, but that opens the start folder, rather than the menu pop up. Which programe do i need to be able to install the start menu i downladed because it wont open with any i currently have. Alternaively is there another way i can create it?

If you want this then in the 'Dock Object Properties' for that item, make sure the "Show Folder in a Menu" option is ticked.
If you installed the downloaded file correctly (which usually involves unzipping it into the appropriate sub-directories under ObjectDock) then it should be in the list when you rightclick on an emply place on the dock and select 'Add Entry'.
You may need to mention which one you downloaded because there may be subtle differences between them as to how they're installed.

Create a text file, and copy the following into it:
set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"
Save the file as a .vbs
Now create a new link in ObjectDock and link it to that file
set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"
Save the file as a .vbs
Now create a new link in ObjectDock and link it to that file

I am having trouble editing my post (forum software down?) but can reply. Do not paste in the HTML tags (the and ) as I was just trying to bold the text. Only copy in:
set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"
Thanks:)
set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"
Thanks:)
