DesktopX Builder
Startup
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 by BigDogBigFeet | Discussion: DesktopX
I am returning to Desktopx and have begun using it again. Right now I am modifying a DesktopX Theme to suit my own personal computer setup.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
Overall things are working but I can't get DesktopX to default start in Builder Mode. I have used the Configure DesktopX Builder menu and set the toggle to load DesktopX on startup but that fails now.
I have for now created a shortcut to the DesktopX Theme file I want to run and placed it in the StartUp folder.
Is there another way to do what I want?
Is the autostart function in DesktopX not working in Windows ? If so, will that be fixed?
As always having fun with customization with Stardock products. Any advice would be appreciated.

BDBF, I am running the DesktopX Pro 4 beta, which is actually 3.96.
It has no distinction between builder mode and regular. And it does start with windows by enabling it in config.
Trick is, I find, that if you have DX running when you shut down, it'll be running when you start up. The reverse is also true.
If you have a builder mode, then you're not using the latest version.
Back when I had your version, there was a setting to make builder mode the default.
