Linking My Network Places, etc..using Object Dock - help!
Monday, December 16, 2002 by OrlandoTX | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi there,
How do you link My Network Places, My Documents, the Run, Find and lastly the Control Panel to an icon? I can attach an image to it, but I'm not sure how to link it to.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

make a short cut, (standard windows shortcut) to the item in the root of your c: drive, then link to that in object dock, that is what I did 
you can drag the control panel, and scheduled tasks and things like that but I remember with desktop x one time, I had to actually make a batch file to the scheduled tasks actually 
, but with the others just make a shortcut, and link to it...

this is the batch file I put together to open the scheduled tasks... this took me like an hour to get to work right...
@title Opening Scheduled Tasks
@c:\windows\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
paste the above text in notepad.. and save the file as SCHED.BAT make sure in the pull down menu below the file name in the save as dialog it says all file types, or else it will come out as SCED.BAT.TXT which won't work. Bu like wise the control panel and such have a number that corresponds to them you can replace the number up there(everything after the :: ) with the one for the folder you want to use... that is if the shortcuts don't work for you... good luck...
