ObjectDock "My Docks" question
Sunday, February 7, 2010 by ScorpionSoul | Discussion: Object Desktop
I have the latest version of ObjectDock Plus (downloaded and installed yesterday) running on a netbook with Windows 7 Professional.
When resuming from standby (i.e., I close the netbook for a while, then reopen it) the "my docks" window automatically opens.
Any ideas?

I considered that, but it seems to me that if that were the case, the same would happen upon initial startup. But this issue only happens when resuming from standby.

Not necessarily. Shuting down the computer or turning power off then restarting makes the computer run through the start up sequence you have loaded. Putting the laptop in standby mode, it doesn't run throught the normal start up when you 'wake' the laptop. Atleast that's my understanding of how it works.

Standby (or sleep) mode is basically just kindof "pausing" everything and turning off the display. When I open the netbook back up and press the power key, there's no "resuming windows" status bar at the bottom or anything... the screen powers back up and everything is how it was when you closed it (including web pages, documents, etc that were open). The entire "wake up" process takes maybe 3 or 4 seconds at most. It's just that now there's the added bonus of automatically opening the "my docks" window, assuming I want to edit them or something.
I'm stumped...

If you set Object Dock not to run automatically at startup, does the same thing happen?

More than likely has something to do with putting the laptop in standby mode. I don't have a laptop but it probably shuts things down to conserve power and in the case of a laptop, battery life. Just a guess on my part.
