Shortcut Entries Lock-up

Friday, February 19, 2010 by KDKsecret | Discussion: ObjectDock

I bought Object Dock Plus a couple days ago and can't seem to be able to use an entry to access any of my internet based programs.  I have Firefox and a couple MMO's.  They start fine, but 5-10 seconds in they just lock up and I have to use the Task Manager to close them.  They work just fine when I access them though the Start Menu or personally activate the .exe file.  I've made these types of adjustments before with a Vista version of Mac's RocketLauncher and that worked great, so what am I doing wrong? (Example:I used this Link - "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe," this for the Arguments - "http://my.yahoo.com/,"  and this for the field Start In - "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" for my browser.  I made/edited all my entries by copying the location and .exe file and pasting it to the links.  Would anyone give me a hand and explain what I need to do to fix this?  I'm using Vista 32bit OS, 2.1Ghz, 3gig Ram, OD+ v1.9 b535u w/ 1 Tab & 1 Zoom Dock.  Any help is much appreciated.

For Internet Links like the Yahoo.com if Firefox is your default browser  just put www.yahoo.com in the Link box and it will launch in the default browser
