That object does not use any scripts. But oddly enough when i delete it I am asked to delete related objects too. There are no related objects to that. It is a simple Folder Shortcut that you select from the drop down. Designed on Windows XP no doubt. My Computer is not valid on Vista and 7 as it is simply titled "Computer" instead of "My Computer".
In any regard, these types of functions never required scripts before. If DesktopX is going to have to rely totally on scripting for simple objects then its current customer base will shrink quite a bit. As a programming app it is a wonderfully unique tool however and opens up avenues for a different customer base.
And... Thanks for the script example. Very handy!

You're right. Hmmm....I can't remember where I got that script, I thought it was that object. Thanks for the correction!

If you mean the Computer object, it works for me on Vista and 7.

The DX Object that comes with DX works. How, I don't know.
If you try to modify what that object does you will break it though on Vista and 7. You also can't create one like that one is made.

This is true and it boggles my mind how it works. An identical one I made opens Documents.....hmmmmmm......

- Improved custom files selection dialog (now uses the new Explorer style).
- Fixed "My Computer" shortcut object.
- Added option in DesktopX Builder to disable all sound effects.
- Fixed corruption with 8-bit png files.
- Fixed object rotation showing the last frame of animated objects.
- A bunch of other minor improvements.
- Not reproduced: crash on export with high coordinates
- Not reproduced: layout/font issues with script editor and object browser
- Not reproduced: size limit for remote pictures (and System.DownloadFile) and crash when viewing properties.
In case nobody noticed, the new build of DesktopX fixes a lot of reported bugs. Thanks a lot Alberto (and other people that woked and are working on it)! 
I'm still seeing the size limit bug (and the crash on showing properties). There should be a RemoteUrlCrash.dxpack file attached to the bug that shows the problem.
As for the high coordinates problem, it no longer happens in the current build (either with a single object or with the gadget that exposed the problem). Another unrelated changed must have "fixed" it cause it always crashes on DX3.5 (I just tested it again to be sure).

sViz loves the explorer style custom files dialog

In builder mode:
Right click any object and choose properties. On the summary tab, there is a button at bottom right, custom files, it opens an explorer window to choose a custom files to embed. This is how one would say, embed a font.

There's the little sucker! Thanks 
Little bug- every time I unload DX my wallpaper changes from Fill mode to Fit mode.

Me too. Irritating as hell!

- Not reproduced: layout/font issues with script editor and object browser
Am I the only one that get that stupid Bangshe font when I use the Script editor? I've have that on ALL computers I've tried running Vista or W7...

Ohh! Is that what that font is called? I thought that crossed out W for a backslash was some kind of glitch. Yeah. I get the same, and I've heard others do, too.

Quoting Phoon,
reply 218
For the benefit of the skinners:
In Windows 7 if you try to create an Object Type of Folder Shortcut, My Computer is not listed. (see reply #3 for more details).
This is present in Vista as well, isn't it? I thought it was a 3.5 bug.
I have always had to use the above script, which I got from the MyComputer object that comes with DX, if memory serves.
