Start Menu with Control Center

Tuesday, August 28, 2007 by Snap Hook | Discussion: Object Desktop

I put the "pop up real start menu" plugin in Control Center and hid the Windows XP SP2 taskbar.  When I click on the CC start menu button, the start menu flashes up, but immediately disappears.  Also, when the start menu flashes on, it is not always in the same place, sometimes an inch (2.54 cm) above the bottom of the screen sometimes in the normal bottom location. If I click it several times, it will eventually stick.  I have closed virtually all apps to see if one was interrupting, but have not found a guilty party.

Does anyone know if 1) there is something interrupting the CC start menu (it works fine from the Windows task bar), 2) if this is a known bug or 3) if there is a solution.  Option #3 is preferred, of course.

hadn't see it, but haven't played with CC in a while...
haven't see any posts on it with CC, but have seen some with Object Dock and the start docklet

It doesn't answer your question/problem directly, but have you looked at ObjectBar? It's been updated more recently that CC and has much of the same functionality (and more)?

Yes, I have tried OB, but it seems to want to cause an error with Windows explorer. When I start it, I get a crash error for Explorer and although OB stays up, it screws up explorer which is integral to Windows. I am working with SD support to try to resolve that issue.
