My Computer--> Manage: Application Not Found

Monday, December 29, 2008 by haxrchick | Discussion: ObjectDock

I have an icon in ObjectDock for My Computer.  When I right click it and select Manage it gives me an error message dialog box:

Title: ObjectDock.exe

Message: Application Not Found

Instead, I would expect it to open the Computer Management window (just as if I'd right-clicked the My Computer icon on my desktop and selected Manage)

(Note that the other right-click menu items: Open, Explore, Map Network Drive, etc.) all appear to work correctly - it is only the Manage item that is not working).

 

I'm running:

ObjectDock 1.90 Build 536

Windows Vista 64bit SP1

 

I've disabled UAC, but it's still not working.

 

 

Thanks!

Abby

I dont use the dock but, here is the shortcut to Computer Management

%SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc /s

And i think vista may be a little sensitive about a thirdpart app launching administrative system tools??

As other options in that menu is not system tools.. like map a drive..

Then again it might be stardock's problem

How did you delete the dock? (and then, for that matter, how did you create another?)

 

Or do you mean you deleted the My Computer icon from the dock?  I tried doing this several times, but I still have the same problem.

 

 

Thanks!

Not permissions, because I can create a seperate icon with the shortcut you gave me (thank you for that) and it works.

So, I think it's Stardock's problem.  Do support people from Stardock read these forums?  Or is there a place I can submit the bug?

 

Thanks!

You've got to be kidding!  The only thing that Stardock does quickly is make excuses.

Its been two weeks since this post was made - any updates?  I havent seen any posts from Stardock acknowledging this issue or provind a work around other than the separate icon post from a use above.

I too am having this problem... and since I can't get impulse to see 1.91k I don't know if that will fix it.

*sigh*
