DesktopX - url feature problem
Friday, January 3, 2003 by gef | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It's probably a simple matter but when I enter a url ( eg. http:\\www.wincustomize.com\) then click on the link I created, I get a 'The specified path does not exist' message ? - Is this possibly a problem with XP or am I missing something.

Sorry Wom, I used 'copy & paste' to make sure it was entered correctly so this does not correct the problem.

OK WOM - I entered( https://www.wincustomize.com/ ) in the section for URL entry.

Don't know what to tell you gef, I tried it again and it works on my computer. Took me to wincustomize home page.

I just made a new object and pasted your link into the URL box of the URL defined object and it worked ok for me.

gef, I honestly don't know what the problem could possibly be. It's so straight forward. Nothing else on your machine should be causing any kind of conflict with a DX object as a URL shortcut.
Please bear with me on this next part, I'm sure you already know this, but I want to cover everything.
Create a new object, click on the button next to "type of object" called 'change'
pull down the drop down list and choose URL, then type in https://www.wincustomize.com/ in the text box and click OK then click apply, then click OK.
I just did exactly that and it worked.

could you possibly post your object on the DX binaries newsgroup? I could take a look at it.

hmmm... try it without the http:// for example....www.wincustomize.com and see if that works. I never use the http stuff at the beginning in my themes, and they all seem to work. worth a shot!

Do you have a pop-up blocker? If so, try disabling it.

No, doesn't work on mine. It's identical to the one I did.
Don't know if it will help but I've sent you the entire theme. ( Not mine, I'm just playing with it to get used to DesktopX).
